Winter 2026

Your Community Impact

Thank you for being a community that shows up when it matters most. Every volunteer who greets a neighbor with kindness, every donor who gives what they can, every partner who raises a hand to help. Together, you make care possible. Below are impact highlights from the last quarter, made possible by your support.


As we step into the new year, we invite you to nominate a North County changemaker for the CRC Community Impact Awards by January 25. Honorees will be recognized at a luncheon on Friday, March 6, 2026.

Maria's Story

News Highlights

NBC7 News: Watch the spotlight on how CRC and community members worked together to support neighbors facing food insecurity during benefits delays. The story underscores how collaboration helps fill gaps and keep food and resources accessible for families.
