Volunteer

Volunteers make a huge difference in helping Community Resource Center further its mission and are one of our most important resources.

About Volunteering at CRC

Our volunteers help at our Food & Nutrition Center and resale stores, assist our staff at CRC events, host donation drives and fundraisers and help the marketing and development team with various projects. Your skills and experience make it possible for CRC to provide programs to end hunger, homelessness and domestic violence in our community.

We couldn’t do this work without you!

Volunteer of the Month

Celebrating the CRC Tea Committee

While we like to celebrate one volunteer each month, it can be especially challenging at times. We have so many amazing volunteers who provide time, compassion and services to our mission, and we are grateful for each one.

This month, we want to acknowledge and highlight the CRC Tea Planning Committee. They truly demonstrated the “above and beyond” mentality.

Read more to see a “Behind the scenes” look at the many ways the committee brought the beautiful CRC Tea fundraiser to life!

Mission Moments

I started volunteering at CRC in the summer of 2019 because I believe in the mission. The resale stores help fund the mission, so I am proud to help the stores be successful. Plus, I love thrift stores!

— Wyatt, college student and Resale Store volunteer

Behind each face is a person, a story, a resiliency that blows my mind. I’m grateful [to walk] alongside them up the aisles of the food pantry at CRC, and challenge me to grow in my acceptance, presence, compassion, and gratitude of those I meet.

— Susan, Food and Nutrition Center (FNC) volunteer

I had one lady that I walked from the store that was almost in tears. She was able to buy the cleaning supplies she needed, but also bought clothing and Christmas gifts for her kids. She was sooooo grateful and appreciative!

— 2022 Holiday Baskets program volunteer

“One day in my kid’s classroom, I noticed that the kid sitting next to her was disheveled and tired and definitely hungry, and I asked the teacher: What do we do for students that are in a predicament such as this?” Watch the video to learn more about why Katrina became a dedicated volunteer in support of CRC’s mission.
