HISTORY:
The King Kennedy Community Center (KKCC) was built in 1978 by a group of like-minded individuals, inspired by the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and President John F. In 2002, KKCC merged with Portage County's largest non-profit social service organization, Family and Community Services, Inc. This merge provided our community members with even more access to many, many different community and social services, events, resources, and programs. It also provided KKCC with additional support in order for us to continue to be a strong influence in the region. By promoting cultural awareness, empowering and strengthening families through program and resource availability, and continuing as a beacon of stability and unity, our community continues to flourish and grow.
