About Futures Rehabilitation Center
Futures Rehabilitation Center was founded in 1968 under the Bradford Area School District in Bradford, McKean County, Pennsylvania, with the aim of providing people with disabilities a center for activity and sheltered employment.
We started out in the former Blaisdell Foundation School at 150 Kennedy St., but soon separated from the school district and became a private non-profit corporation. At the time, many individuals with disabilities were returning from institutions to live in their home communities and many others were choosing to stay at home because more services were becoming available locally.
As Futures’ programs expanded to meet the community’s growing needs, larger facilities were needed. In 1970, we rented space at the current Eagles Club on E. Main St., and in 1975 we purchased the former Butter Krust Bakery Building in East Bradford on what is now Futures Way. Since then, our daily service has grown from serving eight people to serving over 175 people each day.
