Feinstein Foundation Challenge Brings in Funds to CRRC Pantry

The CRRC Food

Pantry staff and

volun-teers

were rec-ognized as the “Hunger Fighter Team of the Year” by the San Antonio Food

Bank on March 7. We are proud of this honor, and thank everyone who helps CRRC serve our community.

Each of you help us in some way, so we thank all of you for your support!

The Feinstein Foundation is again this year challenging food assistance agencies around the nation to run a fundraising cam-paign during March and April. The Foundation will provide matching funds, out of a $1 million pot, to participating agen-cies. So, any of your food or finan-cial donations to the CRRC Food Pantry over the next two months will be subject to being counting to-ward our portion. Your pennies, dol-lars, cans of food or rolls of toilet paper are all counted toward what will become a donation to us from Feinstein. We count it all!

Canyon Lake Pavilion Coming!

By Darin Zumwalt, CRRC Executive Director

CRRC is growing for our community! This past week, our County Commissioners have approved a recommendation from the County Parks Allocation Committee to award CRRC funding to help complete a 2,100 sq ft pavilion to be erected next to our Out-door Basket Ball Court. These funds will be com-bined with a very generous amount contributed by the Canyon Lake Noon Lions Club and we hope to pour our slab by July 1st of this year. The funds will also allow us to erect the supports and roof soon thereaf-ter. In order to complete the building, CRRC will be soliciting donations from our community. Our Board of Directors, Advisory Board, and Staff have already personally committed funds for the project. Upon completion, the Pavilion will have a caterer’s kitchen, restroom facilities and storage for tables and chairs. The pavilion will benefit all of the entities in the Hidden Valley Sports Park and be available for rental by our community for events and open for pub-lic use. Your donation is tax deductable.
