Look Up Center

The Look Up Center is a faith-based nonprofit community organization founded by Scott and Bernice Hayes in 2004. Based in Newark, Ohio, it serves Licking County with Christ-centered love, education, and encouragement, supported by local churches, civic groups, and individuals. The organization says it has served more than one million residents over two decades and provides a central place for people of all ages to gather for classes and events.

Its programs and services include Glory Rising Preschool, the Look Up Dental Clinic, and the Skilled Trades Employment Program (S.T.E.P.). The Look Up Opportunity Store offers a place to shop, while the center also accepts donated goods and arranges furniture pickups. A separate donation shed in Granville provides another drop-off option, though it does not accept furniture. Through its ministries, events, educational activities, and community outreach, the Look Up Center aims to help Licking County grow and thrive. It also offers volunteer opportunities and welcomes financial and physical contributions to support its work.
