Dear CRC,

CRC is well-known for our intervention and support services such as counseling, food, and housing assistance. Fewer people are aware of Community Resource Center's many efforts to provide education and prevention in our neighborhoods. Our Domestic Violence (DV) department has a respected and robust education program, a model for other organizations and cities to follow.

In the last of our three focused newsletters, we cover a lot of heavy topics. Domestic violence is not an easy subject to lean into but I commend our volunteers for their willingness to learn and to advocate.

Please read on to learn a little bit more about DV, but also to see the ways we can all make a difference!

Warmly,

Sara Rosenbaum, CVA

CRC Volunteer Manager

Congratulations to CRC's Volunteer of the Month: Randy Gorman!

From nominating staff Corrie McCoy:

Randy Gorman is a model volunteer and Board member of Community Resource Center. As Chair of the Facilities Committee, he has taken on and led projects, saving CRC staff time and resources. His passion for CRC’s purpose and mission is evident whenever he speaks about the work that we do in the community. His empathy for the clients we serve is felt and demonstrated in the contributions and efforts he makes. 

Randy is constantly absorbing the now and the new of CRC, by meeting with staff outside Board and Committee hours and asking how he can be of service. Randy lends CRC an invaluable amount of time, effort and expertise needed to make facilities related decisions that improves the service space we provide to staff and clients. 

Very recently, he has been instrumental in negotiating CRC's Capital Campaign and Carlsbad office expansion contracts. Thank you!
