Elyria Neighborhood Center faces closure amid funding cuts
The Elyria Neighborhood Center, a 37 year old community hub at Oberlin Avenue and 17th Street, fights to stay open after state budget cuts, reduced United Way funding, and a $80,000 shortfall. A $15,000 Stocker Foundation grant buys six more months while leaders seek donations and volunteers to preserve tutoring, youth programs, and a food pantry for seniors.
