Dear CRC Supporter,
As we look forward to 2020, we can’t ignore all that you helped accomplish in 2019.
Community Resource Center is fortunate to have amazing community support, from organizations and businesses, funders and donors, volunteers and ambassadors. I’m thankful for all you do to support our efforts to help the hungry, homeless and hurting in our community.
In December, we received remarkable support from donors, funders and sponsors for Jingle & Mingle, Holiday Baskets and our Season of Hope campaigns for Giving Tuesday and the Winter Appeal.
Together, you gave more than $350,000 to support our neighbors in need. Thank you!
The upcoming year will be a progressive one for CRC. We have a long-term strategic plan in place which will guide our efforts to help more of those in need.
On behalf of the people we serve, I’m grateful for your efforts in 2019, as well as for your continued partnership and investment.
John Van Cleef

February: Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM)
|
|
February will be here before you know it. Each year during this month and across the United States, CRC joins teens and those who support them in a national effort to raise awareness about teen dating violence.
CRC staff collaborates with both local and national organizations like
loveisrespect.org
and
onelove
, to offer prevention education and awareness activities for teens to understand and avoid unhealthy, abusive, and violent relationships.
We work with schools in the
San Dieguito, Carlsbad, San Marcos, and Vista
school districts
as well as the San Diego County Office of Education and private schools.
We invite you to join us in participating in a national campaign organized by
loveisrespect.org
, a leader in the movement to end teen dating violence and promote safe, healthy relationships. This year’s campaign theme is
#1Thing
.
All of us have a role in ending dating violence even if that one thing seems small or insignificant. By just learning or doing one thing, you can start the conversation about healthy relationships with your friends, in schools and in your communities.
The first
#1Thing
we can all do is wear the color orange during February to honor Teen Dating Violence Awareness.
