Discovering Potential at the Kroc Center!
Mrs. Joan Kroc envisioned a place where people of every age and circumstance were encouraged to explore their unique gifts and talents. Her vision was to create a place where all people regardless of social status had access to a world-class recreational, educational and cultural-arts facility. She expressed her desire that “tens of thousands of children” would be able to enjoy such a facility. And, she saw The Salvation Army as the perfect partner for creating such a place.
The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center located in South Omaha is such a place. It offers a holistic experience by providing a variety of programs, events and services in education, the arts, athletics and spiritual development to people of all ages throughout the metro area.
