DeWitt County HRC To Change Encore Name

Encore Thrift Store will be modifying its name to better describe what they do.

 

Executive Director Stephanie Coonce is excited to finally reveal they will soon be known as "Encore Developmental Services". She indicates it was a long process to decide and finalize the name change and feels it better promotes what they do.

 

 

Leaders of the non-profit believe the name "DeWitt County Human Resource Center" has some negative stigmas and connotations surrounding it and they felt it was time for a fresh start.

 

 

President of the Board for Encore, Gary Gullone, says Encore has come a long way in the last four to five years. He points to their improvements to the facility and the financial stability as proof of that.

 

 

Gullone indicates Encore continues to receive money from the 708 Board and Coonce points out they also receive support from United Way and the State Farm Good Neighbor program that allows them to work their client's speech and communication skills.
