Community Resource Center

Community Resource Center CRC is a 501(c)(3) helping people create paths to healthy food, stable homes and safe relationships

After seeing so many in need, local community, faith-based and business leaders collaborated to form an organization to address homelessness and food insecurity among low-income community members. Since 1979, Community Resource Center has grown from providing basic needs for families in crisis, to offering a comprehensive continuum of safety net services - emergency assistance, case management, co

unseling, shelter and food - to low-income individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of homelessness, including domestic violence survivors and their children.
