About ACRC Modesto:
In 2019, ACRC Modesto opened its doors with a primary mission to support the vulnerable community in the area. Understanding the urgent need for assistance, our organization embarked on a journey to provide essential aid to those facing hardship. One of our earliest initiatives was the implementation of a food program, where we began assembling and distributing food boxes on a weekly basis. This initiative quickly gained traction and has since become a staple in our community. Through the consistent provision of nutritious meals and essential supplies, we have been able to alleviate food insecurity and provide much-needed support to individuals and families in need. At ACRC Modesto, we remain committed to serving our community with compassion, dignity, and a steadfast dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve."
