Re-Style: Supercharge Your Spring Wardrobe
As we start our first week of Spring, local personal stylist Lyndell Werling shares her tips for finding Spring styles at CRC's Resale Stores. Whether you're planning a trip or adventuring outdoors, Lyndell has great ideas for saving money and looking great this season by shopping at our stores. Plus, all of your sales and donations benefit CRC's programs that help the community! 
Thank you to Ella and Han Helders!  
Special thanks to Ella and Han Helders for hosting a Holiday Baskets Volunteer Appreciation Reception! 

Last week, the Helders hosted a wonderful homemade dinner for our Holiday Baskets captains and staff who led the event. We are so thankful for their generosity and time! We are also thankful for the many volunteers and donors who came together to make Holiday Baskets possible and provided joy to hundreds of families last December.
Make a voluntary tax contribution to support domestic violence survivors
Survivors of domestic violence need your support and it's easy to help through your state taxes. Make a voluntary tax contribution on your tax forms as a voluntary contribution line item on Form 540, Side 4, Line 14, Code 433. The money will be distributed by the Office of Emergency Services to non-profit domestic violence programs across California, like CRC.
