A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY
to change lives and our community!
Join us in creating a new social services hub to better serve our neighbors!
Our new home will improve access to SACA programs, social services, and partner organizations.
With your help, we will change lives, bring people together, and ensure our community thrives.
Your contribution will help open this new facility!
OUR CURRENT SPACE
Our current facility, located in the cramped basement of the aging Community Center, is unable to meet our community's growing needs. Some of the challenges we face include no climate control, inadequate storage for fresh foods and bulk donations, lack of privacy for client meetings, no waiting or children's area, no capacity for classes or community gatherings, and difficulty moving food without direct ground-level access.
Sarah DeSantis, Executive Director
The community's needs are increasing.
MORE SPACE MORE IMPACT
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to change lives and our community. Our new, daylight-filled facility will triple our current size, providing enough storage and workspace to better serve our neighbors, collaborate with community partners on site, and grow our programs well into the future.
NEW FEATURES
◦ Welcoming, ADA-accessible entry and service area
◦ Large shopping area with modern refrigerator and freezer units, additional shelving, and produce room
◦ Separate reception, waiting room and meeting rooms so client privacy can be respected
◦ Climate control throughout, so nutritious foods remain fresh and visitors stay comfortable year-round
◦ Warehouse with roll-up door and ground-level receiving area
◦ More efficient workspace for staff and volunteers and space for community meetings
◦ Offices for community partners, providing a strengthened network of support
