A major addition to Rush County’s new Love Community Center has been secured with the naming of “Diamond Pet Foods Main Street,” thanks to a generous contribution from Diamond Pet Foods.

“At Diamond Pet Foods, we believe in supporting the communities we serve, and this project is an incredible opportunity to create a space that brings people together,” said Mark Schell, vice president at Diamond Pet Foods. “We are honored to be part of the Love Community Center and to support its mission of enhancing the well-being of Rush County residents.”

Diamond Pet Foods Main Street is a 13,344-square-foot common space that will serve as the central corridor through the Love Community Center, connecting all areas of the facility, including the Rush County Recreation Center, Rushville Public Library, Rush County Food Pantry made possible by Citizens State Bank, Westminster Early Learning Academy, Rush County Senior Citizens Center and social services offices occupied by ICAP and Firefly Children and Family Alliance.

Designed as a welcoming space for visitors, featuring seating areas, public art, and informational displays about the center’s services, Diamond Pet Foods Main Street will also provide access to meeting and social spaces, including the Community Room, Richard and Sue Moster Family Courtyard and the Gerald & Anita Mohr Family Meeting Room.

“This is an exciting partnership, and we are incredibly grateful for the support from Diamond Pet Foods,” said Rushville Mayor Mike Pavey.  “Their commitment ensures that the Love Community Center will be a hub of activity and a place where people of all ages can connect and thrive.”
