Our Mission
To empower the people of Collier County by providing information, referrals, advocacy, and case management—helping navigate life's challenges with dignity and hope.
Since 2015, the Collier Resource Center has been a beacon of hope for residents facing crisis. Founded by Nina Gray, who understood firsthand the challenges of navigating social services, CRC has grown from serving 60 clients to helping over 1,800 families annually find their path forward.
Evening Highlights
Beyond the cocktails and conversation, join us for exciting opportunities to support CRC's mission throughout the evening.
Make an immediate impact during our live Paddle Raise! When the auctioneer calls out donation levels, raise your paddle to contribute directly to CRC's programs. Every dollar raised helps families in crisis access essential services including food, housing, healthcare, and financial assistance.
100% of Paddle Raise donations go directly to serving Collier County families.
