As we look back on 2016, we are so grateful to all of our generous supporters, donors and volunteers.
We see so many reasons to believe in what we do here at CRC. Together:
- We have helped women, men and children escape violent relationships and get back on their feet.
- We have fed thousands of hungry people.
- We have helped people get jobs and overcome poverty.
- We have helped individuals who were once homeless find housing.
Thank you for your incredible support. We look forward to sharing many new participant stories in 2017.
