Executive Director, Jirandy Martinez made the following statement:
“CRC is honored to be part of such a wonderful and caring community.  Not only do area cbos (Community Based Organizations) help each other, but everyone in the community comes together when there is a need.  We are blessed.”
 
Each bag is full of school supplies and worth approximately $25.00.
