Last week, the DeWitt County Human Resource Center announced they will cease to provide services to their clients starting July 1.

One service they will continue to provide for a limited time is their Encore Thrift Store. According to Executive Director of HRC, Lynn Scovill, the thrift store remains open however, has stopped accepting donations.

Scovill says while Encore gives their clients a safe working environment and a place to earn some money, she indicates the store is not a huge money-maker for the agency.

Scovill also notes, Encore was also a way for their clients to become prepared for community employment.

With HRC closing their doors for the final time on June 30, administrators remain committed to finding alternative sources of programming for their clients.
