Student Testimonials
"The Hawk Cares program has helped me with saving some money with buying groceries and has also helped me with having a place to study."
- Amanda X | CRC Student
"No one walks into a food pantry on a winning streak. We all have needs that have to be met. In this specific case I come in to a quiet well organized food pantry with hangout spot. Its a nice place to recharge not only myself but my devices."
- Nicholas B. | CRC student
