The Successful Neighborhood Resource Center (SNRC) was founded to assist the underserved and uninformed of Columbia with nearby access to resources and programs for those in need. The SNRC is entirely funded and operated by volunteers in the community, and First Ward Councilwoman Almeta Crayton serves as director of the organization. The center’s general mission is to enlighten those in need, give them hope, and provide resources for self-sufficiency.

Essentially, the SNRC is a community support organization run by those in need, for those in need. The majority of SNRC volunteers are low-income citizens themselves, a factor Crayton says is important because those served by the SNRC feel comfortable there, and they feel a vested interest in the organization, as if it belongs to them as well as the entire community.
