San Diego Gives Results

Thank you for winning the race with us during San Diego Gives!
Together, we raised $15,453!
Your support will help many of our neighbors experiencing hunger win their own race to a brighter future. All the donations will help support our Food & Nutrition Services, which include our client-choice food pantry, that allows people freedom to choose the food they want to prepare their meals. Thank you on behalf of those who need to receive healthy food!
Produce Gives Gleaning Event
Labor for our neighbors! A great way to start Hunger Awareness Month
CRC Staff joined Produce Good over Labor Day weekend to help pick lemons from an orchard in Rancho Santa Fe. Together, they gleaned almost 2,000 pounds of lemons that were received by our Food Pantry and other food banks in our community. Thank you, Produce Good for all you do in recovering healthy food and helping our community!

Friends helping friends is the meaning of community

CRC is a grateful recipient of many grants and support from this great organization that provides supportive funding for many San Diego human care organizations.
Thank you for your support!
Funding from our partners supports CRC’s mission to help our neighbors create paths to healthy food, stable homes and safe relationships. We are grateful for the generous support received from these individuals and organizations in August:

From the Desk of John Van Cleef — A Volunteer's CRC Story
Every day we’re surrounded by reminders of why we do what we do. The best word I know for it is compassion – not just feeling for someone, but walking with someone in their experience to be a comfort and help.

No one can do another person’s journey, but this beautifully written story captures the power of walking with someone on their journey.

To our volunteer who took time to author and share her experience: Thank you for helping us see and feel what we’re surrounded by every day. I promise the careful reading of this will be worth the three to four minutes of your time. Read more
