Family & Community Support

A long-time family resource, CCRC began collecting donations for children’s books and toys about 15 years ago. Efforts have evolved over the years to include larger items like car seats, cribs, highchairs, and clothing. Since April 2020, we have sourced, received, packaged and distributed over $1 million in concrete support to families in the form of food, formula, diapers, and pandemic supplies. Each time someone asks if we can handle a major donation – we ask for more. We know the need never stops – so neither do we.

COVID funding was also used to supply child care providers with cleaning supplies. CCRC was awarded $5 million to disperse funds and/or cleaning supplies to child care providers. From May 2020 until December 2020, child care providers were eligible to receive $65.89 per child in care or receive cleaning supplies at a comparable value. This offer extended to all providers in our community and the provider did not have to be contracted with CCRC.
