Your Impact In Our Community
Nourish
Sophia, a foster mother of two, turns to CRC’s client-choice Food & Nutrition Center for groceries that help nourish her family. She shared that, as a low-income parent, this support helps her stretch her budget and afford basic needs:
“The food and nutrition center is very helpful to be able to put food on our table, especially with the food prices going up so high.”

Sam came to CRC experiencing homelessness and received nutritious food from our client-choice pantry, holiday baskets, counseling, and case management to find a stable home.
"CRC met me with arms open. When each person shows up with hope in their pocket, it adds up to a mountain of hope for someone like me who has been physically and mentally abused."

Letter To Our CRC Supporters
Dear Friends,
It’s with great pleasure that I share with you the remarkable journey of your Community Resource Center (CRC). 2023 was a year featuring growth, resilience and the unwavering dedication of direct service staff, volunteers and donors to our mission of helping our neighbors create their paths to healthy food, stable homes and safe relationships.
It’s heartening to share that, despite economic hurdles and the challenges facing our community, CRC’s ability to meet the need has prevailed. Inflation posed significant challenges for families and seniors, exacerbating the complex issue of access to vital resources.
Your support ensured CRC was able to respond to the notable increase in the number of individuals and families seeking assistance from our center. Your support also reinforced the critical role CRC plays in meeting essential needs during times of financial strain.
CRC’s commitment to innovation and adaptability led us to introduce new programs aimed at addressing emerging needs within our community. Among these is the Trauma Recovery Center, a vital resource providing comprehensive therapeutic and medical support to those navigating the challenging journey from trauma to healing – especially trauma associated with being unsheltered. This addition to our repertoire of services highlights our dedication to fostering holistic well-being and resilience among everyone we serve.
CRC reached just over 90% of the $10.5 million One Community • One Heart capital campaign goal, and also expanded with new service centers in the neighboring cities of Carlsbad and San Marcos, along with new programs in Solana Beach. This expansion makes CRC’s services more accessible to our neighbors in need and underscores our vision of creating socially just and equitable communities across our region.
Together, we have made a tangible difference in the lives of countless individuals and families. I’m confident that our continued collaboration will realize greater impact in the years to come.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to the mission of Community Resource Center.
