The Garcia family was inspired by the services that CPH offers the homeless, after serving several meals at the center. In February 2010, the Many Happy Hearts Foundation was established to raise funds and awareness for CPH. The family plans to continue to raise funds to provide meals, computers and educational tools for the after-school program located on-site.
