Critical Repairs Caroline County (CRCC) is a privately
funded non profit organization whose mission is to
provide home repairs and install loaned, relocatable
ramps for citizens of Caroline County who are in need of

financial assistance. These improvements are intended
to help residents to safely remain in their homes for as
long as possible rather than having to relocate.
Through the use of generous donations of time and
money from private organizations, community groups,
and citizens , CRCC was able to install 10 ramps in 2022
despite the obstacles created by the pandemic. In 2023
we are working to continue installation of relocatable
ramps and are expanding services to provide minor but
critical repairs for residents who cannot afford to have

the repairs done on their own.
CRCC has recently received generous donations from
The Caroline Foundation, The Home Builders Care
Fund, and The Lions Club which will be used to continue

our mission. However , the need for fi nancial assistance
