Welcome!
CRZ Outreach is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization proudly founded in honor of Claudine - a brilliant, loving, and witty mother and leader whose passion for faith-based mission work; and love for children shapes our core values. Though dementia keeps her from the field, her beautiful spirit remains at the heartbeat of this organization. We continue her legacy by supporting children and seniors in need.
CRZ Outreach's mission is to enable access to resources for grade school kids in need, and to seniors living with dementia - as a means to fill a confidence gap.
Thank you for visiting and for helping
us spread kindness in our community.
We're still here and waiting for you!
