The Resource Center has been supporting people with disabilities in Chautauqua County for almost 60 years. It was through the efforts of volunteers - parents who wanted better lives for their children with disabilities, aligned with community activists who believed that people with disabilities deserved the same opportunities as everyone else - that led to the creation of The Resource Center in 1958. Volunteers have remained an important part of TRC. From its humble beginnings, The Resource Center has grown tremendously, supporting thousands of people with disabilities and other challenges as well as the entire community.
