CRC is celebrating our 90th year in 2015. In 1925 CRC was formed to focus on community planning of social services, social legislation, public education, and community welfare. Over the years CRC has promoted collaboration and discussion around the aforementioned topics. CRC was never positioned to “own” many programs, instead to identify gaps in available services and help develop organizations or programs that address the missing services. CRC’s mission is to connect the resources in our community through Collaboration, Advocacy, Research and Education.
