Overview
The Lancaster County Recovery Alliance (LCRA) is a grassroots coalition founded in May 2015 whose original purpose was to explore and develop solutions to issues resulting from addiction, as well as to coordinate our county’s Recovery Day Lancaster celebration each fall.
LCRA attracts people passionate about working to promote the role that recovery plays in Lancaster County. Treating individuals and families impacted by addiction with the same care and support as those with other illnesses creates communities where everyone can thrive.
Mission & Vision
Our mission is to encourage a recovering lifestyle within the community at large for those affected by addiction through Awareness, Advocacy and Access.
Our vision is the elimination of stigma, so that communities become welcoming to individuals and families working to sustain recovery.
Leadership
The Leadership Committee consists of members who are responsible for providing guidance on overall strategic direction and key issues of LCRA, including:
- Assessing our local needs and strengths
- Organizing projects and mobilizing individuals to participate
- Developing a media and marketing strategy
- Creating procedures for resource allocation and sustainability
