CRC Intiatives
Thank you Hygiene HEROes!
Thanks to you – our Hygiene HEROes – the CRC raised $16,255 to help send kids back to school with hygiene supplies this year! That’s enough to support more than 160,000 students across Middle Tennessee!
Our Programs
π Step into history! Founded in 1985 with a humble wish-list published in The Tennessean, the CRC began its mission by rallying the community to donate essential household items for those in need.
Fast forward to today, and the CRC has evolved into Nashville's beacon of support during times of crisis and a trusted resource for ongoing essential product needs within the nonprofit community.
Over 300 nonprofit agencies spanning 9 counties in Middle Tennessee rely on the CRC to provide thousands of hygiene and cleaning kits annually. With our 5,000-square-foot warehouse and office space in Nashville, we receive, store, package, and distribute these crucial supplies.
We are now positively touching the lives of over 1 million individuals annually. Together, we're rewriting history and empowering our community one essential hygiene item at a time. ππ

Creating Impact Through Action!
The National Belting Association is in Nashville this week for their annual conference. Attendees are assembling more than 100 Family Hygiene Kits and attendees were invited donate $30 to contribute towards the hygiene supplies for the kits. These kits will provide essential hygiene + household cleaning products to families, allowing them to stretch their monthly budget to purchase other essential basic needs.
Thank you NIBA for supporting Middle Tennessee families by providing #dignityforall with the CRC!

π Inspiring Community Support:
A Heartfelt Message from Jen Anderson, Clary Co-Founder:
"After relocating to Nashville and with my prior experience in overseas nonprofit work, I was eager to serve and support my local community. I discovered the CRC and was deeply impressed by its extensive outreach in Tennessee, especially as the sole hygiene provider. I immediately volunteered, and it's been a rewarding journey since. As long as they'll have me, I'll always be committed to volunteering with the CRC.
As a local business, it's crucial to acknowledge and assist those who tirelessly work behind the scenes to uplift our community. The CRC's endeavors stem from genuine dedication and compassion for those most in need. Giving back by volunteering and amplifying their mission on available platforms is the least we can do.
I firmly believe our Clary customers prioritize not only the planet and their skincare but also the well-being of the community at large."
Thank you, Jen and @clarycollection, for using your voice to advocate for #dignityforall. We appreciate your friendship and ongoing support of the CRC.
As a local business, it's easy to get involved! Contact [email protected] for more information.
We're celebrating #hashtag day to remind YOU of our mission to provide #dignityforall.
#Dignityforall means standing up against injustice and discrimination and working tirelessly to break down barriers that hinder the realization of human rights for all--with our focus being Hygiene for all.
Use #dignityforall whenever you post and share about the CRC (like today), and join us to celebrate the unique worth of every individual.
