ABOUT, MISSION, HISTORY & DIRECTORS
Redbank Valley Community Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Each year the number of people utilizing our facility and our services is growing. The hundreds using RVCC and contributing to our events and programs are proving how generous they are and how much we needed this in our local community. Our overwhelming success is due to the time, talents, and treasures donated by the generous people in the Redbank Valley.
Through partnerships and collaboration, we have been able to establish programs that reach people of all ages in the community.
RVCC is available for community program sign-ups and as a meeting place. The community center has also become a hot spot for birthday parties and baby/wedding showers. Our doors are open to serve refreshments to people who attend the food pantry monthly. Participants are able to wait comfortably out of the elements for the opportunity to receive food from the local food pantry.
We continue to have a variety of monthly programs geared to elementary students and focused on education.
The purpose of the Redbank Valley Community Center is to provide an environment of encouragement, education, and entertainment to meet the needs of our community. We are currently focusing on the physical, spiritual, emotional, and developmental well-being of community members of all ages. This is being done through partnerships, events, and long term programming.
HISTORY:
The idea and need for a community center in the Redbank Valley Community came from leaders in the Leatherwood Church in 2011. Leatherwood Church, along with community members, churches, and other organizations began work on a vacant building that would become Redbank Valley Community Center.
The center achieved incorporation status in 2012 and, in 2013, by-laws were adopted with a newly elected board of directors.
The grand opening of the Redbank Valley Community Center was held in June 2014 with a formal ribbon cutting ceremony.
