Today, we join communities across the country in celebrating Juneteenth - a day that honors freedom and recognizes the resilience and contributions of Black Americans.

At CRCF, we know that strong communities are built through understanding, opportunity and a commitment to one another. As we celebrate this important day, we also recognize the value of coming together, learning from one another and working toward a future where everyone has the chance to flourish.
