Due to severe weather and the safety of our staff and clients, OCS will be CLOSED on Monday, Jan. 26. If you have an appointment with one of our partners, please call or email them to verify before heading to the Cooper Community Resource Center. As of this evening (Sunday around 6 p.m.), the Lorain County Sheriff's Office still has us at a Level 2 snow emergency, meaning conditions are still dangerous enough that people should not hit the roads unless absolutely necessary. “We’re trying to ensure road crews can maintain roadways without unnecessary interference from motorists,” said Sheriff Jack Hall. “Additionally, the parking ban is necessary to keep up with clearing secondary roadways in the townships.”
