Experience hope firsthand with Community Resource Center’s Impact Tour

Each day, families across North County San Diego face the heartbreaking realities of hunger, homelessness, and domestic violence. But there is hope. And at Community Resource Center (CRC), we’re not just offering services, we’re transforming lives. This year, we invite you to experience hope firsthand by joining a CRC Impact Tour. You’ll see what hope really looks like—up close, personal, and powerful.

REAL IMPACT. REAL PEOPLE.
In 2024 alone, CRC helped 369 individuals find safe, stable housing, provided over 650,000 pounds of food to local families, and offered counseling and domestic violence support to thousands of neighbors in need. These aren’t just numbers; they represent families who now sleep safely at night, children who go to school with full bellies, and survivors who are rebuilding their lives with dignity. Behind every statistic is a story of transformation, resilience, and hope. These are stories we’re proud to share on our Impact Tour.

WHY TAKE THE TOUR?
Our Impact Tour isn’t just a walk-through. It’s a window into the heart of CRC’s work and a chance to see our mission in action. You’ll hear firsthand how our staff and volunteers respond to urgent needs, build sustainable futures, and uplift the entire community through compassion and care. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to CRC, the tour offers an opportunity to witness how your time, donations, and voice can help us continue feeding hope in San Diego County’s north coastal region.

FEEDING HOPE IN EVERY CORNER
CRC’s work is guided by the vision of communities where everyone has access to the resources they need to live with dignity. That’s why we offer:
• Emergency shelter and rapid rehousing programs to help families move from crisis
to stability.
• Food and nutrition services that serve thousands of North County residents
every year.
• Domestic violence prevention and safe shelter to protect and empower survivors.
• Counseling and support services that foster emotional and mental well-being.

Every program is a thread in a larger tapestry of hope that we weave together with the help of community members like you.

RECOGNIZED FOR EXCELLENCE
CRC’s impact isn’t just felt, it’s recognized. We’re proud recipients of multiple honors, including the 2024 Large Nonprofit of the Year and Large Nonprofit Executive of the Year from the San Diego Business Journal and Nonprofit Partner of the Year from the Encinitas Chamber of Commerce. And, in 2019 and 2023, the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce recognized CRC as Nonprofit of the Year with Carlsbad Business Achievement & Distinction (CBAD) Awards. These awards reinforce the trust our community places in us and celebrate the hard work of our dedicated team, volunteers, and supporters.
