Last year, the CRC Tea raised $170,000, helping CRC provide North County households in need with wraparound programs that include a domestic violence emergency shelter, food pantry, housing assistance, legal advocacy, counseling and more. In 2023, this support contributed to finding safe housing and shelter for 317 people in need, distributing over 505,000 pounds of food in 14,936 visits to CRC’s Food & Nutrition Center, providing 2,914 counseling sessions, and answering 3,342 calls to CRC’s domestic violence hotline.
