Building Great
Futures Together
**Big News for Our Club! **
A building expansion Is on the way!
We are excited to announce that we will soon begin a much needed building addition in partnership with Irlmeier Construction. This project is an ambitious one, and although it is not yet fully funded, it is essential that we get started now. Over the next several months, we are hopeful that continued grant opportunities and community support will help us secure the remaining funding.

Why This Expansion Matters
Since 2021, our average daily attendance has doubled, both in after school programming and during the summer. With more youth coming through our doors, our current facility is no longer meeting the demand.
Here’s a look at our current challenges:
• Our kitchen/pantry space is just 8' W x 30' L, operating with only one household oven.
• During summer, we prepare meals for an average of 100 kids per day.
• We currently operate with only two bathrooms for the main building and 1 in the gym.
A Time Sensitive Project
To continue operating at our current capacity, the addition must be completed before Summer 2026. This timeline ensures we can maintain safe, effective programming for all members, while still providing free meals.
What’s Included in the Plan
Phase 1: Building Expansion
• A 32' W x 30' L addition on the east end of the main building
• New features:
• A hallway with cubbies
• A larger, updated kitchen
• Expanded pantry and storage space
Phase 2: Interior Renovation
• Converting the current kitchen area into 4 new bathrooms
• 2 Wash Stations
Looking Ahead
This expansion is a vital step toward meeting the needs of our growing enrollment and attendance. We look forward to sharing updates as the project progresses and appreciate the ongoing support that makes this work possible.
