CRC - Christian Resources Centre

CRC is an innovative, collaborative, mid-sized, multi-service agency that proudly serves Regent Park, currently in the midst of a 20-year revitalization, and the surrounding neighbourhood also known as the downtown east. For over 50 years, we have worked with low-income community members to help them build capacity to change situations and conditions for the better, both in their own lives and in the wider community.

In 2012, CRC opened a beautiful new building and a new chapter in its history. Our building at 40 Oak Street has a 5,000 square foot community hub of program space where we offer delicious, healthy and dignified Community Meals four days a week, as well as Housing Supports, Drop-in programs and Cultural Celebrations, available free-of-charge to anyone who walks through our doors.

Above the community hub, CRC hosts the only not-for-profit social housing in Regent Park, 40 Oaks, which provides 100 tenants with supported affordable housing and access to wrap-around services.

We are home to the Regent Park Community Food Centre and its suite of high-impact programs that include Food Skills, Gardening, Culinary Skills Training, Peer Advocacy, Regent Park Social Development, and our weekly summer market festival Taste of Regent Park. Some 64% of people who use our services tell us they routinely do not have enough money for food after paying rent and bills each month. CRC is anti-oppressive and inclusive to all.
