     OUR HISTORY

  • In 1952, three local women started Washington County Association for Retarded Children or "ARC", now operating as "The Arc"
  • ​In 1959 a part-time sheltered workshop began in a church basement
  • In 1963, The Threshold was incorporated and relocated to a larger, rented facility
  • In 1973, the new 20,000 sq. ft. facility was built through donations from the community
  • In the late 70's, another 20,000 sq. ft. was added to the facility, also through donations
  • In 2008, through the generosity of numerous foundations, organizations, and individuals, the Threshold Rolfs Avenue facility underwent a major renovation to better serve clients
  • In 2013, a very generous donation was given to our organization to purchase the Westwood Mall, and TTI Industries which is the Lawrence and Vivian Stockhausen Center (LVS). Click here to learn more about the LVS Center History 
  • Senior Day Services moved into the facility through the dedication and hard work of countless individuals
  • The Threshold remains as a local, important community service, and has been part of this community for over 58 years
