“When I came here, the first help I received was from MCR. Whenever I need assistance or have questions, I come here and they provide me with the help I need in my language, and they always make me feel welcome. Now I want to give back to the center, so I volunteer.”
—Roberto, volunteer and former client at Mountain Community Resources
