Cities battling poverty, crime, racial tension, substance abuse and other critical issues are now facing the future with hope because of the life-changing impact of Community Renewal International. In neighborhoods where violence and fear once reigned, there is now safety and trust. Playgrounds are replacing battlegrounds. Former gang members and drug addicts are renewing their lives, returning to school and giving back to the community instead of taking from it. That is what happens when caring partners from all walks of life come together with one dream and one hope for one community. True community renewal changes the world - one neighbor at a time.

Community Renewal International swings the mallet April 28 on its annual Croquet Classic fundraiser, one of our primary fundraising events of the year. Money raised at this fun event helps Community Renewal in its mission to restore caring communities, renew lives by rebuilding caring relationships and turn impoverished neighborhoods into havens of hope.
