About the Kroc Center

The Salvation Army Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center is a 12.4-acre family support, education, recreation, and cultural arts center. The facility is open to members and the general public, and serves residents of East San Diego, La Mesa and Lemon Grove, with a variety of quality programs for individuals of all ages.

Development of the Kroc Center was made possible by a $90 million combined capital and endowment grant from a bequest to The Salvation Army by the late Mrs. Joan Kroc, widow of McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc. The San Diego Kroc Center was the first Kroc Center in the world when it opened in 2003 and led to Kroc Centers across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

San Diego Kroc Center Vision

In keeping with the mission and holistic approach of The Salvation Army, The Salvation Army Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center provides opportunities that facilitate positive, life-changing experiences through: art, athletics, personal development, spiritual discovery and community service. The Salvation Army Kroc Center’s facilities, programs, and services, bridge the gap between potential and opportunity for children and adults, by strengthening individuals and families, and enriching the lives of seniors.
