This year, the group has decided to promote four separate efforts: the Captain Joseph House, OlyCAP, Hill House and Healthy Families.

Captain Joseph House, a 501(C)(3) charitable organization, provides respite and educational support to the families of the fallen. OlyCAP manages community centers in Clallam and Jefferson counties. Hill House is a safe house for women in crisis, offering both shelter beds and permanent supportive housing for women only. Healthy Families of Clallam County’s mission is to provide a wide range of services empowering children, youth, adults and families to achieve their full potential, improve their physical, mental and emotional health and live free of violence and abuse.
