Kroc Center Scholarship Campaign
Joan Kroc’s vision was to provide world-class programs to children, adults, and seniors in our service area, regardless of their financial circumstance. Money raised during the annual Kroc Center Scholarship Campaign affords community members the opportunity to participate in programs that encourage them to discover their talents, and promote creativity, wellness, and spiritual discovery.
Emergency Food Assistance
When times are tough, the Kroc Center serves as a resource for Family Resource Center clients who find themselves without money to put food on their tables. The Kroc Center provides emergency food assistance to 160 households, more than 1,000 people a month. Food boxes are also given to 700 community members during the holiday season. The Kroc Center is always in need of the following food items: Peanut butter, canned meat (chicken, fish), canned vegetables and fruit, pasta, beans, boxed cereal, oatmeal, and boxed side dishes.
