The neighborhoods surrounding our community center contain primarily lower middle-class families, the working poor, and older people living on modest fixed incomes in their small homes, senior apartments, or with their adult children. The community center is the only center in the area that provide food to low income families. Located in Hollister, CA, the CFC was founded in 2014, transiting from under the umbrella of Bethany Community Church to CFC, which now serves the communities of San Benito County. Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in this area, we formed our organization to provide sensible solutions. We've consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of our amazing community! While many people experience America as a "land of plenty," with opportunities and comforts abounding, sadly many low income families are experiencing a shortage of food. The CFC mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment to support the social, physical, and health needs of the neighborhood's low income families. Our mission is to focus on making the maximum positive effort for our community. Our members and volunteers provide the momentum that helps us affect change. Using data driven models, we provide solutions that make a long-lasting difference. Our amazing team of regulars and part-time volunteers are committed to helping others' We take our convictions and turn them into action. Listed below are outstanding programs we offer: . Food insufficient Program: This program is designed to supplement low income families living in a food insufficient household due to lack of income or resources to access enough food. . Free Cloths Closet: We provide FREE clothing to low income families. We believe clothing can open the door to a better future by providing the confidence needed to ace a job. Families can shop free of charge twice a month to help them get back on their feet. . Refreshment, Encouragement & Resources: A time of refreshment for women in our local communities meet monthly to support each other as women. Whether it be on the emotional, spiritual, business or career level. A time to guide women into self-sufficiency programs to learn new skills, find a job, and assist with a budget. . Juvenile Youth Program: Council and encourage youth on probation about good behavior, staying in school, participating in school activities, and completing home work assignments. We refer youth offenders on probation for jobs, and others may be required to work on special projects such a volunteer jobs in the community. Probation limits freedom for a juvenile offender, but we believer that probation is a better alternative than out-of-home placement.
