The Great Give is right around the corner, and Chapel Haven Schleifer Center is excited to participate once again in this 36‑hour community‑wide fundraising event on May 6–7, 2026.

Each year, The Great Give unites nonprofits across Greater New Haven to strengthen programs that make a meaningful difference—and this year, we are asking our community to rally behind a critical safety initiative for our transportation program. Our goal is to raise $15,000.

Safe, reliable transportation is essential to how we support adults with disabilities—getting them to medical appointments, jobs, volunteer sites, grocery stores, and community activities every day.

To keep our fleet running safely and efficiently, we urgently need to equip each vehicle with a tracking device that provides real‑time mileage, fuel usage, vehicle availability, location alerts, speed notifications, and optional in‑vehicle cameras. This technology is not a luxury; it is a vital safety tool that helps us protect the adults we serve and ensures our staff always know where vehicles are and when they need maintenance.

Your support during The Great Give will directly strengthen the safety, reliability, and independence of our community. Together, we can keep every ride safe and every opportunity within reach.

Please mark your calendars for May 6–7 and help us make this year’s Great Give our strongest yet! Stay tuned on our social media for more!
