Your Community Impact

Last year, our community and 1,000+ volunteers empowered our neighbors to live with dignity. Visit our Impact page to preview our annual impact. From providing 650,000+ pounds of rescued food to helping 369 individuals obtain safe housing, we are truly grateful for our supporters.

“I have to recognize that I’m in recovery from an abusive relationship—reclaiming life, hope, and possibility.” Watch our video for real words from survivors of domestic violence, shared during CRC counseling sessions. Our counselors provide compassionate support to help clients on the path toward healing. Learn more about CRC's counseling programs.

Making a Difference

Members of Seacoast Community Church hosted a Community Serve Day at CRC's Encinitas Resale Store and Food & Nutrition Center. Teams of dedicated volunteers came together to organize and clean our pantry, sort donations at our store and more. We are grateful for the collaboration and support of local faith-based and community organizations!

Thank you to the many groups that regularly host food drives to support our food pantry, which provides healthy food to an average of 650+ participants every month. This month, consider hosting a food drive or donating non-perishable items to help neighbors facing food insecurity access nutritious food. See our most-needed items list.
