About J&J COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER

J&J Community Resource Center (J&J CRC) is a San Francisco-based nonprofit founded in 2018 that provides community events, youth enrichment, food and holiday distributions, and work-readiness programming targeted to families in Visitacion Valley and surrounding neighborhoods. The organization is registered as a 501(c)(3) and filed Form 990 returns for multiple years, reporting $547,259 in revenue and $450,248 in expenses for its fiscal year ending December 2022.

In recent years J&J CRC reported running regular community events and direct assistance programs (including holiday food and toy distributions and a youth workforce/readiness program). The organization has also been the subject of city-level enforcement actions related to procurement and billing practices; as a result, local authorities moved to bar the organization or certain leaders from receiving city contract funds for a period of time.

Local youth workforce program

Operated a work-readiness program (referred to in agency materials as 'LOCKED TIGHT') providing stipends, community service opportunities and workforce training for low-income and at-risk young adults.

Rapid revenue growth (2020–2022)

Expanded annual reported revenues from under $100k in 2020 to over $500k in fiscal year 2022, enabling a larger slate of community events and assistance that year.
