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.
