To better serve the working families in our community, the Manchester Community Resource Center (CRC) will be open on Tuesdays, 12pm–7pm, beginning Tuesday, April 16. All regular CRC services, including the food pantry, will be available. Our hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays will remain the same: 9am–4pm. We are closed on Fridays.

CRC is a community-based human service agency serving the City of Manchester and the four surrounding townships of Bridgewater, Freedom, Manchester, and Sharon. We offer an array of services including a food pantry (curb-side pickup or in-person shopping by appointment), grocery delivery to individuals with mobility or transportation issues, weekend meal kits to students in MCS who face food insecurity when not in school, emergency financial assistance to prevent eviction or utility shut-off, access to free tax preparation and information, and referrals to a variety of Washtenaw County services (such as physical and mental health, senior citizen and veterans, transportation, health insurance navigation, financial counseling, and more). Income eligibility requirements apply to some programs. Call us at 734-428-7722 for more information and to schedule an appointment.
