Monument Crisis Center is a community-based nonprofit family resource center serving Central and East Contra Costa County. Located in Concord, we provide nutritious food, quality resources, and referrals to low-income individuals and families working to build stability and security in our community.

Each year, thousands of households turn to Monument Crisis Center for support during challenging times. More than 15,000 households are enrolled in our Food Distribution program alone. What began in 2003 with 84 families and a single food closet has grown into a vital community resource, welcoming approximately 1,300 new families each year.

At Monument Crisis Center, food is more than groceries. It’s relief for a parent trying to make ends meet, support for a senior living on a fixed income, and stability for children who need to focus on school instead of uncertainty. It’s a connection to education, referrals, and programs designed to help families move forward with confidence. It’s the beginning of something stronger.
