OCS Board President Marcia Jones swings a sledgehammer March 30, 2023, smashing a hole in a wall that will be demolished. With OCS Executive Director Margie Flood (left) and architect Ron Cocco (right) by her side, she symbolically kicked off the first phase of renovations at the Cooper Community Resource Center, 500 E. Lorain St., Oberlin. Williams Brothers Builders of North Ridgeville will complete the project.
INTRODUCING THE COOPER COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER!
Renovations of the former NACS building at 500 E. Lorain St. in Oberlin began in April. In September, we opened the pantry and warehouse, and made the move across town! Renovations are ongoing in other parts of the building and will likely last through spring or summer of 2024.
We’re asking for your help! Several amazing donors have already put us on the path to a new home — like Fran and Roger Cooper, who gave $1 million to cover the purchase cost of the building. To show our thanks, we’ve named it the Cooper Community Resource Center. Click here to read The Chronicle-Telegram’s coverage of our ceremony on March 30, 2023!
We want everyone to be part of the excitement. You can contribute to OCS’ capital campaign (click here for giving options). Every donation is deeply appreciated, whether your gift is $10 or $10,000 — we know it comes from the heart!
