CRC News | September 24, 2020
Dear CRC Supporter,

Last week was my two-year anniversary at Community Resource Center. While so much has changed in the world since I joined CRC, I know that one thing remains the same –my commitment to CRC's mission to help the hungry, homeless and hurting in our community. Along with our staff, I am inspired every day, as we partner with our community to meet the most critical needs facing our neighbors – shelter, food and safety from domestic violence.

Thank you to the many who hosted food drives and donated during Hunger Action Month. You can still get involved ... here are five ways you can help us achieve a hunger-free San Diego.

I also ask you to find ways throughout October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, to help educate our community and provide life-saving resources. Sadly, the pandemic has increased and introduced the experience of intimate partner violence in our community and around the world.

Below are some ways you can join us this fall to bring help and hope to neighbors in need.

Kind regards,
John Van Cleef
