We will be closing today at noon in order to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the office. The Hancock County Public Defender opened in 1996 with four staff and one computer.

Open House on April 9th for the new location of The LOFT; stop by and check out their new space!

It's finally here! We are thrilled to invite you to the Open House event for The Loft's new building 🏠located at 1908 N. Main St. in Findlay, Ohio, this space has been in in the works for nearly three years. From just a passing thought to searching for space, and grant writing, to construction meetings, painting and more. This project has been a lot of work and commitment so we hope you can see all the effort we've put in when you visit us for the Open House.

That's right this event is open to the public so it's not only for youth. Parents, partners, teachers, community leaders, are all welcome. The event is 4pm to 6pm with a ribbon cutting promptly at 4. See you there 😁



ID: The top reads “The Loft (A Youth Program of FOCUS RWC)” with a circular logo that says “the loft, a place to be you.” Large purple text in the center says “Open House.” Below it reads “Come explore our new location!” The lower half shows a photo of a single-story brick building with a ramp and a large tree in front. Text over the image reads “April 9th.” A green banner at the bottom says “Ribbon Cutting 4pm | Open House 4pm–6pm.” The address is at the bottom “1908 N. Main St. Findlay, Ohio.”
