PRC Lock Haven: History

HISTORY

  • In 2010, a Clinton County community member approached PRC about the possibility of bringing services to the Lock Haven community in the future.
  • In 2015, the board gave the blessing to move forward with building relationships with various churches, organizations, and civic groups.
  • In 2018, we held our first informational gathering with more than 80 community members in attendance.
  • In 2019, a Steering Committee was formed and began meeting to carry the vision forward.
  • In 2020, staff and volunteers began serving clients in Lock Haven out of a local church once a month, providing diapers, wipes, and gift cards to Clinton County families.
  • In 2021, the Steering Committee continued to look at potential properties and staff and volunteers continued to serve clients once per month.
  • In June 2022, we hired a Site Director to oversee the Lock Haven site’s day-to-day operations. 
  • In August 2022, an investor learned about our need for a building and purchased a suitable property with the intent to rent to PRC to provide services to Clinton County families.  
  • On September 21, 2022, a lease was signed! In the next few months, renovations will be made to the property.  
  • On October 25, 2022, we will have an Open House from 3-7pm. Come and show your support, meet the staff, and tour the facility. 
  • Goal: To open in Spring 2023.
