The Catastrophic Relief Alliance (CRA) is a service group at Franklin & Marshall College that assists in disaster relief work across the United States, and home rebuilding in Lancaster City. CRA works with partner groups in Lancaster to assist women in need, home-owners in distress, and our own College community with basic residential projects.
Many of our PRESS links are presently not functional due to the update to the College website. Hopefully these links that highlight our amazing adventures will soon be restored.
And here's a slideshow of our first 20 years !
