Holiday Baskets - 2011
Thanks to the support of over 200 groups and organizations and 1,600 volunteers, we served nearly 1,600 families in need through Holiday Baskets this year! This year marks the largest distribution in the 29-year history of the Holiday Baskets program.
The level of need in our community has been tremendous, and a record 600 households could not be helped by Holiday Baskets this year. The Jewish Community Foundation (JCF) stepped in to help CRC provide food to those families, and offered CRC a donor match pool of up to $7,000. In just under two days, we reached our goal of $36,000 for a special winter food distribution for families in need in our community! Thank you to our CRC supporters for the tremendous response to our appeal, which officially ended at 1:00 on December 30th after we confirmed the end of the match pool funds!
The JCF match is no longer available, but your donation can still make a critical difference without that match. Click on the FOOD donation box to the right to make an online donation in support of food programs throughout the year.
We are actively seeking donations of non-perishable food or cash donations online or by check to support our efforts. CRC provides year-round food assistance to families in crisis, so if you missed our Holiday Baskets distribution, it's not too late to help.
