Lucas Community Center

The Lucas Community Center is a 7,000 sq. ft. facility on 4 acres. It is the only facility serving Lucas and the surrounding area. We are eternally grateful that the residents and businesses donated over $500,000 to remodel and furnish the center (no government funding). The center is staffed by volunteers. 

Our goal from Richland Gives is to raise $20,000.
