Center for Human Services (CHS) is a nonprofit organization based in Modesto, California, serving youth and families across Stanislaus County. It originated in 1970 as Head Rest, a drop-in center for youth in need, and now delivers a wide spectrum of services, including shelter, juvenile justice support, mental health counseling, school-based services, family resource centers, and substance abuse prevention and treatment. Through these programs, CHS assists more than 20,000 clients each year and relies on a substantial staff and a volunteer base to deliver services. It maintains a long-standing presence in the community, with activities focused in Modesto and the surrounding region. In 2025, CHS planned to host its 39th annual Edible Extravaganza in Modesto, illustrating ongoing community engagement.
