Who are we?

The C&CR Foundation is a Non-Profit Corporation based in Richardson, TX. Our mission is to promote hope, wonder, inspiration, and empowerment on both the personal and community level. We do this through direct action, sponsorships, and promotion of other organizations that are striving for compatible goals.

Our directors are Cally Rogers, Chris Rogers, and Tonie Daly.

What have we done?

Cally and Chris Rogers got their start on this mission by participating in homeless outreach. This included a wide host of activities including preparing and delivering hot meals and fresh water, purchasing and delivering winter supplies (coats, hats, sleeping bags, etc.), and helping homeless persons with locating vital services.

In May of 2021, Cally and Chris opened up the Wake Drive Food Pantry. This is a garage based food pantry hosted out of their residence in Richardson, TX. This pantry is open every 2nd and 4th Sunday from noon till 6PM for anyone who needs it. However, the pantry is not just limited to food. We also offer clothing, toys, school supplies, household equipment, and work tools. Around 90% of the donations in our pantry are community sourced. Cally and Chris fund the balance out of their own pockets (~$800/month). We currently have sveral regular volunteers that assist each time we are open.

In January 2023, we remodelled the Wake Drive Food Pantry and made it quite a bit larger! The resulting pantry feels a bit more like a neighborhood market. We also received our 501c3 status and began operating as an officially recognized non-profit. We also spent a great deal of time this season building out our back yard gardens and understanding better what grows well in this area and what is not worth our time and effort.
