Building Campaign

Our Building Campaign

After more than 25 years of ministry, the time has come for us to improve and expand our services.

We have recently embarked on a new endeavor to demolish the old Arbor Place building, which was formerly the Siegel-Ansel Bag and Burlap Company, and construct a new building on the same property. The final touches are being put on the new building, and we are excited for our friends and neighbors to come celebrate our Grand Opening at any of our three events occuring on March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Our Board of Directors selected Scenic Ridge Construction Company and Cornerstone Design/Architects to build a state-of-the-art facility for our youth. The new facility is designed to suit our needs and will help alleviate paying thousands of dollars each year to repair our current facility that was literally falling down.

The new facility is one of several revitalization projects taking place in the Southeast quadrant of the city. These projects will greatly enhance the neighborhood and will also increase demand on our facility and services. To name a few, the SACA (Spanish-American Civic Association) is building 14 new housing units on our block of North and Locust Streets, and a new shopping center is being constructed on South Duke Street.

Our new building will enable us to provide expanded programs to an increasing number of youth. These programs will address their educational, recreational, spiritual, social, and nutritional needs, and will also create unlimited opportunities for partnerships and collaborations as we work together to make today’s youth tomorrow’s leaders.
