Our Journey Since 2013
Founded in 2013 in Chico, California, the Chico Housing Action Team (CHAT) began as a grassroots initiative dedicated to improving the lives of unhoused and at-risk individuals. Through a commitment to safe, affordable housing and sustainable support systems, CHAT made a lasting impact in its local community.
Today, we proudly carry that legacy forward as part of Want2Donate.org — continuing our mission through a broader platform serving communities across the United Kingdom and Europe.
