Who We Are
In the depths of confinement, where shadows cling and hope often fades, a spark ignited within Frank Perez. Witnessing the cyclical despair of those trapped in the criminal justice system, he recognized a profound truth: many were ensnared not by malice, but by the absence of support at life's critical crossroads. They had been abandoned to the lie that they were worthless, disposable.
But Frank knew better. He knew that every soul held value, that every life deserved a chance. This conviction gave birth to Christian Service and Referral (CSR), a beacon of hope for the underprivileged. For over 30 years, CSR has been a lifeline, offering not handouts, but hand ups – empowering individuals to rise above adversity and reclaim their lives.
Through the unwavering dedication of its volunteers, CSR provides pro bono social and legal guidance to those referred by a network of trusted partners. It's a place where those who have been cast aside can find a listening ear, a compassionate heart, and a path toward a brighter future.
At CSR, we understand that sometimes the simplest act of kindness can make the greatest difference. Whether it's providing direction, connecting individuals with vital resources, or simply offering a safe space to share their burdens, we are committed to walking alongside those we serve.
We believe in the power of human connection, in the transformative potential of empathy and understanding. We believe that everyone, regardless of their past, deserves a chance to heal, to grow, and to thrive. And with unwavering determination, we will continue to be a source of hope and support for those who need it most.
