Elk County Community Foundation

SPOTLIGHT PROJECT
In 2020 it became apparent to the citizens of Howard that the future of the Howard City Pool would possibly be closed for the future. This group of concerned citizens decided to approach the Howard City Council and find out what could be done to keep the pool open. The Howard City Council agreed to use memorial and other funds to renovate the pool if the community would raise an additional $20,000 to show their support of the pool project. The ECCF came alongside this group of citizens and began a campaign to raise the necessary funds. With the support of community members all over Elk County and former citizens the necessary funds were raised! The ECCF presented a check to the Howard City Council for $14,350 which along with funds that were collected in the Howard City Office met the $20,000 goal. The ECCF continues to hold and collect additional funds for the future needs of the pool. The pool will open for its first full summer season in May 2022, citizens of Elk Co have been invited to sponsor a free swim event during the pool season, ECCF will sponsor a swim in June.
