Yreka Community Resource Center yrekacommunityresourcecenter.org has been
providing activities to the community for many years. By providing Resource Center services in a central location, the 19,000 sq. ft. building has been utilized to its maximum capacity.
We have 27 programs and services. We want the entire community to feel welcome here - not just families and not just children. Our mission statement is "Resources for All!" We strive to either provide services or hook people up to the services they need. Last year, 3,415 people were served!
