History:
In 1998, community members rallied to save the building from being torn down. They developed a community center focused on family support and environmental sustainability. They also created a P-Patch and the Garden of Happiness. Today, we are stronger than ever with over 6,000 Center users each year. Over 70% of the work to keep the Center open is done by volunteers.
