Resale Store Collabs with Coach
In the Spring of 2021, Dawn Rodriguez, a manager and Coach Cares Ambassador at the Coach Outlet Store in Carlsbad, reached out to CRC to discuss a possible volunteer opportunity with our Resale Stores.

Assisting Seniors in Need

Pat and his partner Ellen were struggling to make ends meet with their social security income. Pat had gotten a part time job to make sure they could pay their rent on time, but when he lost that job they needed help until his unemployment began and he could find another job.

CRC was able to provide short term rental assistance to these seniors and connect them with food and nutrition support to ensure they could remain in their home and had healthy food to eat.

CRC’s homelessness prevention programs provide assistance to help you remain in your home. If you or someone you know needs assistance, please contact Integrative Services at intake@crcncc.org or call (760) 753-8300.
