CRC RECOVERY FUND RAISES OVER $790,000 FOR FLOOD VICTIMS
As CRC and its community slowly began to recover from the pandemic, we were grateful that we at least had our homes. However, on September 2 the remnants of Hurricane Ida swept away entire communities and flooding forced thousands out of their homes – eviction by natural disaster. As a result of the generosity and compassion of our community - locally and even in other parts of the state - $791,200 was raised and will be used for direct financial support for victims of the flood. Close to $60,000 in gift cards was also donated to support the hundreds of Mamaroneck families impacted and displaced by Hurricane Ida. YOU HELPED MAKE THAT HAPPEN! |

This relief fund will go directly to Mamaroneck flood victims for emergency assistance and relocation costs. Your donation is helping at least 200 local families with money to pay for the food or transportation they need, to replace the clothing and belongings they lost, and also to cover rent owed or security deposits and first month’s rent to secure a new home. Emergency assistance will be provided directly to victims of the flood. Relocation costs will be provided directly to the landlord of their existing or new homes. We will also use emergency assistance to secure new mattresses for families in need and to help with furniture delivery transportation.
Thank you, with all our hearts, for supporting our community through this difficult time.

Ida Flood Recovery Continues
The families and small businesses in our community have experienced extensive damages and lost most of their belongings. The damages and trauma will take months to recover and heal from.
Help us support them with direct emergency assistance. Donate to CRC's recovery fund.
Our Center also sustained significant flooding, and we lost most of our workforce development, staff, and building equipment. But the loss is not just about the material damages; CRC is a second home to our community. In times like this, CRC is where they turn to for help and refuge. We are heartbroken not to be able to offer our Center's space for healing and support. Our own recovery will take time, but our team is hard at work with Crisis Response at different locations (a temporary location will be announced soon).
We thank all of our community partners for supporting us during this difficult time.
In Solidarity,
