Their dedication to supporting children and families makes a real difference, and we’re honored to be part of that work.”

The Toy Drive reflects CAHIP NorCal’s ongoing commitment to community service alongside its work in advocacy, education, and professional development for health insurance and benefits professionals.

Sacramento, CA — November 24, 2025

CAHIP NorCal is proud to announce that they exceeded their fundraising goal for this year’s CAHIP NorCal Turkey Drive benefitting the River Oak Center for Children. With an initial goal of $2,000, their generous members and community partners came together to raise $2,270, helping to provide full Thanksgiving meals to 50 families in the Sacramento area.

Thanks to these contributions, each family received a Thanksgiving meal box complete with mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, pie, and all the essentials that make the holiday special. These boxes were assembled and distributed by the River Oak Center for Children, whose mission is to support vulnerable youth and families in the Sacramento region.

“CAHIP NorCal is honored to support River Oak’s important work,” said Lauren Bayha, CAHIP Nor-Cal Executive Director. “Our members show up year after year with compassion and generosity, and we’re grateful to everyone who helped us surpass our goal and make a meaningful impact in our community.”

The CAHIP NorCal Turkey Drive is an annual tradition that reflects the chapter’s ongoing commitment to service, community partnerships, and supporting local families in need. They extend heartfelt thanks to every individual and organization who donated, shared, or helped spread the word. That generosity ensured that dozens of families can enjoy a warm, abundant Thanksgiving meal together.
