Support at CRC
We have a number of supportive programs and groups to care for the whole person.
Support Groups
No Shanda/No Shame
A group lead by Rabbi Jim & Rabbi Susan that is devoted to support for those living with/around problems occasioned by mental health-mental illness. During this time of challenge we are moving to weekly meetings.

Grief Support Group
People walking the mourner's path are invited to join CRC's Grief Support Group, facilitated by clinical social worker/CRC member Jamie Sentnor. Participants may be any place along the path, from the first year of mourning to years after the loss of a loved one.
The Grief Support Group meets a couple times a month on Saturdays. All who have experienced the loss of a friend, family member, or loved one are invited to attend. Together, we will listen and learn from one another, helping to make connections and finding ways to support one another through the grief process.

Caring Programs
Mitzvah Corps

Members are available to help with things like chicken (and vegetarian!) soup, meals, rides, visits, and more. If you could use a little extra support from your CRC family, or know someone who can, contact the CRC Mitzvah Corps:

Tikkun Closet
The Tikkun Closet is currently unavailable due to COVID-19.
CRC reaches out to its neighbors in need year-round through our Tikkun Closet, which is a clothing and food pantry located in the foyer of our building. The items arrive by donation only and the closet is refilled daily. No documentation is needed to use the closet. We only ask that you respect a daily limit of 5 items so that we can help as many people as possible.
Room at the Inn (RATI)
Room at the Inn (Room), is a temporary, emergency shelter program for homeless women and families.
The Homelessness Chavurah is serving dinner at RATI the third Sunday of the month. We are looking for volunteers to make dinner: salads, main dishes, side dishes, or dessert. Click the button below for upcoming opportunities.
