Who We Are

Crisis Relief and Recovery is a national disaster relief and response organization based in State College, Pennsylvania. We exist to serve and strengthen communities in crisis by training and deploying leaders who provide relief, empower recovery, and ensure that no one faces the storm alone.

SITUATION

On September 2–3, severe storms dropped up to 7 inches of rain on the Bald Eagle Creek valley, flooding homes in Mill Hall, Lock Haven, Flemington, Beech Creek, Blanchard, and the hollows above Howard. Many families took two feet or more of water into their homes — and lost furnaces, water heaters, and appliances just as heating season sets in.

CRR launched Operation HOMETOWN II to assess flood damage, register households, and mobilize volunteer teams for muck-out, gutting, drying, and debris removal. Our Mobile Operations Center is set up at Big Woods Bible Church in Lock Haven, and volunteer work began Thursday, September 10.

WHERE WE STAND

- 22 flood cases registered
- 60+ households contacted
- 134 volunteer hours logged — and counting!
- Working alongside Team Rubicon, Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, Pennsylvania VOAD, and local churches
- CRR is serving as PAVOAD Mission Lead at the Multi-Agency Resource Center in Beech Creek

WHAT FAMILIES NEED

- Replacement water heaters and furnaces — several homes lost both
- Flooring, subfloor, drywall, and cabinet replacement
- Debris removal — much of it rock and gravel washed into yards and basements

One elderly homeowner with no flood insurance is receiving personal follow-up from our team. This is the kind of need your gift meets directly.

Your donation puts trained volunteers on the ground, replaces lost furnaces and water heaters before winter, and helps these communities recover.

Our Goal: Raising $25,000

We aim to raise $25,000 to fund our mission for to help homeowners get back on their feet.
