Overview

Mission

The mission of the community resource center (crc) is to serve all individuals and families by connecting them to resources that improve their lives. The crc is a community based human services organization that was formed in 1987 when a large manufacturing company in manchester closed, leaving many families in need. Then, crc was founded to address the needs of people affected by sudden unemployment, including food, emergency funding and assistance with job seeking. Now, crc continues to address those basic needs by providing safety net services to residents of southwestern washtenaw county who are facing food and financial insecurity.

What it reported doing in 2025

Non-food support programs in 2025, crc provided comprehensive non-food support services to 142 unique households through several key initiatives. Through the volunteer income tax assistance (vita) "scan and go" program, crc served 50 individuals with annual incomes below 67,000, facilitating 95,000 in total tax refunds. The emergency funding program provided critical support for rent, utilities, and transportation to 17 households, disbursing 5654.04 in emergency assistance. Additionally, crc's mi bridges navigation services helped 75 clients successfully apply for or renew essential benefits including healthcare, food assistance, childcare, and state emergency relief benefits. Community partnerships and coordination crc continued to improve community impact through strategic partnerships in 2025. The organization collaborated with united way of southeast Michigan to implement the vita scan-n-go program locally and partnered with food gatherers to enhance food pantry offerings with fresh produce, dairy, and meat. Working with the washtenaw county health department, crc facilitated two pop-up wic clinics and distributed covid-19 test kits and face masks to community members.
