The Latest News

Thank You for Feeding Hope!


Thanks to you, we raised an incredible $128,503 – doubled by the David C. Copley Foundation and The John and Elizabeth Leonard Family Foundation! Your generosity brings help – and hope – to neighbors in need, nourishing hungry families, preventing homelessness, and caring for survivors of domestic violence. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Empowered Voices for Survivors


We’re proud of the 44 advocates who completed our 40-hour Domestic Violence Advocate Certificate Training. They learned about the dynamics, dangers and impacts of intimate partner violence and gained the skills to support and empower survivors on their healing journeys.

Capital Campaign


Campaign Spotlight: Debbie McGraw-Block


We’re grateful to Debbie McGraw-Block for her four decades of support and five years of hands-on volunteerism. Debbie shares why she supports our capital campaign: "I think the client community will see that CRC and the overall community values them. The new space will tell them their dreams and hopes are valid and CRC is there to help make them come true.”
