History Of Rush City Cares
Rush City Cares started with a vision of Father Otto Neudecker and Maureen Puziewicz to better serve the Rush City community by combining efforts of the local clergy and church leaders into a central organization. Rush City Cares was incorporated in April 1985.
The food shelf operation was located in the Rush City Community Center. It was apparent this was a much needed service. The number of clients rose each month and year.
In 2006 the town of Rush City built a new Community Center adjacent the Countryside Senior Apts.
The Rush City Food Shelf was given a room there, which is a beautiful new site. The room could be twice the size but it works. The client numbers are at a all time high. With the work of a wonderful staff and the compassionate caring town we are able to help those in need of food.
The Rush City Food Shelf will become it's own entity in 2010 and therefore become a separate corporation. This is being done so that the Rush City Food Shelf can obtain other funding specifically for the food shelf.
