The CRC has the current needs for the following Volunteer Projects. The projects below allow an individual or group to take on a specific project. These are perfect for ministries or eagle scouts. We also have an adopt-a-spot, where individuals, ministries, and families can adopt a flower bed at the CRC. Lastly, if your group ever wants to do a volunteer workday we have a number of projects you could help us with, so just contact us!
