Pratt is unique in its small-town ability to help people needing help. Three local organizations available here for those seeking assistance are the Hope Center, Circles of Hope, Pratt County, and Prairie Independent Living Resource Center, Inc. (PILR, pronounced Pillar). These three programs function independently, yet as they work together, more people are helped.
“These organizations work together so no one group is spinning its wheels,” said Pam Ford, Director of the Hope Center. “We are cohesive so real help happens.”
The Hope Center is the hub of help in town. Its purpose is to offer a coordinated and partnered approach to serving the community and to meet the needs of individuals and families.
