rCr is a grassroots volunteer, non profit (501c-3), hunger relief organization and
think tank, whose purpose is to obtain and provide supplemental food to restock
the dwindling shelves of local food pantries, soup kitchens, safe homes and
shelters. rCr is raising awareness and making a difference concerning a crisis
surrounding all of us; that too often people ignore…the many children, seniors,
women and men that live with hunger and in poverty.
Our niche to beat hunger is unique. We collaborate with scheduled events (such as
concerts, schools, sporting events, celebrations, etc...) and coordinate projects
where attendees are asked to bring a CAN of (healthy and nutritious) food to
donate. One CAN doesn't make a big difference by itself, however, if 50 or 100 or
1000 each bring one item - we have a substantial amount of supplemental food that
can fill in the shelves of a local food pantry or shelter! Unfortunately the base of
need is increasing (at times, people are turned away!) while resources are steadily
declining.
rock CAN roll, is an organization that brings together people who have and people
who need with people who CAN! Our projects bring out the best in everyone -
donors, volunteers and recipients. We raise the humanity of the events we
collaborate with. I know that when everyone contributes a small part, together we
CAN do great things!
