Honoring FLACRA's Dedication to Recovery and Community


In the heart of the Finger Lakes region, an organization has been quietly but steadfastly making a profound impact on the lives of individuals and families affected by substance use disorder and mental health care needs for half a century. FLACRA, short for Finger Lakes Area Counseling & Recovery Agency, is celebrating its 50-year anniversary, and the milestone is nothing short of remarkable. To mark this monumental occasion, FLACRA is hosting its very first annual Anniversary Celebration Fundraiser, promising an evening of inspiration, entertainment, and hope for the future.
