Empowering Communities, Building Futures

The premise that Rush Co Community Development offers a conduit to work with all not-for-profits in the new Love Community Center is strongly supported by the center's mission and structure.

While the Rush County Community Foundation (RCCF) was the driving force behind the creation and initial funding of the Love Community Center (LCC), the center itself is explicitly designed to be a "one-stop shop" for various community services, primarily delivered by non-profit organizations.

 The LCC will be an all-in-one resource for many of our community’s needs. It will house a fitness center, basketball court, walking/running track, indoor pool, and daycare center. It will also be the new, expanded home of the Rushville Public Library. The Rush County Community Assistance food pantry offers a larger, more welcoming space, complete with a commercial kitchen. There will be offices for other social service agencies, including WIC, ICAP, Rush County Senior Citizens Center, and Firefly Children & Family Alliance. Having all of these organizations under one roof will benefit the community tremendously. There will be plenty of formal and informal meeting and gathering spaces for the community’s use. This amazing resource will have something to offer everyone – from infants to seniors. It will be housed in the former Walmart building at 1850 N Main Street in Rushville. What a great way to infuse new life into this vacant space!
