Memories from events in the Past
During the Covid19 pandemic last year, the RC kept the doors open to the Superhero Comic book camp, We-Sew class, and Doulas Latinas sewing classes while keeping everyone safe and following OHA protocols.
Even though the RC was not fully functioning, the RC took this opportunity to work in the kitchen by renovating the floors and adding new appliances and grease drainage. The Rockwood Center is working hard to get the kitchen certified.
