The Rotary Club of Summit County raised more than $90,000 to benefit the construction of Sol Center, a building that will house locations for two nonprofits, Building Hope Summit County, and the Family & Intercultural Resource Center.
The Sol Center is planned to be a 18,150-square-foot building that will contain office space for both nonprofits in addition to the resource center’s community food market and thrift store, as well as a meeting space for local partners.
The fundraising efforts were kicked off by an anonymous Rotary Club member who challenged the membership to match his $25,000 commitment. The club responded to his challenge by raising over $65,000 from individual members.
