The Manchester Community Resource Center (CRC) will be temporarily relocating this summer while major renovations take place at our regular home in Riverside Intermediate School. Beginning Tuesday, June 9, CRC will be operating out of Klager Elementary School, 405 Ann Arbor St. Our food pantry will be set up in the Art room, and our office will be in the Band room. CRC will have its own dedicated entrance. To reach it, visitors should access the building from Dutch Drive. Signs will be posted to guide you to our entrance.

The move will take place over the weekend of June 6–7. We will be closed on Monday, June 8 to get settled in, and will reopen on Tuesday, June 9. Our summer hours will be Monday, Wednesday, Thursday: 9am to 4pm; Tuesday: noon to 7pm; and closed on Fridays. All of our core programs will continue without interruption, including the food pantry, grocery delivery, and the Wooden Nickels farmers market token program.

We know that a change in location can be an inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience as we make this transition. Our goal is to make the move as smooth as possible so that neighbors who depend on CRC's services experience as little disruption as possible. We expect to return to our permanent home at Riverside Intermediate School by the end of the summer — we'll share a specific date soon.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 734-428-7722 or info@manchestercrc.org. We're grateful for the community's support and look forward to continuing to serve the City of Manchester and the surrounding townships from our temporary home at Klager.
