Hatcher Center crafts expand into national contracts
The Fred T. Hatcher Activity Center on Shelton Avenue produces marketable crafts with sales spreading beyond Danville. Director Mrs. Julia O. Miles notes the center nets about 12,000 in 1974 and aims for 24,000 in 1975 while funding remains from United Fund plus other sources. Clients are paid 1.50 weekly, with profits shared by hours worked as they build assembly line and mechanical skills to secure future jobs. A new wing under construction will add workshop and evaluation space to support growth.
