In this curriculum, our players explore a different word each week (one of those words being celebration) which coincides with our mission to develop the whole child – mind, body, and spirit. But taking time to celebrate isn’t just important for our players. For example, in the Bible, we are told that the Lord instructed Joshua to setup a monument of 12 stones from the Jordan

After touring San Diego, Joan Kroc, wife of McDonald’s owner Ray Kroc, recognized a community that was in desperate need of a safe gathering place with facilities and trained professionals to nurture children’s social skills, arts appreciation and athletic potential. Mrs. Kroc donated $87 million to The Salvation Army to build the first Kroc Center in San Diego. She was so pleased with what was accomplished here that she left $1.6 billion to The Salvation Army to build centers like this across the country. Today, there are 26 Kroc Centers nationwide.
THE SALVATION ARMY KROC CENTER’S PURPOSE 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, strengthen individuals and families, and enrich the lives of seniors.

ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED! GENERAL KROC CENTER FAQs Q. Who can be a member of the Kroc Center? A. Everyone is welcome! Guest passes are available for people who are not members, and the general public is encouraged to sign up for programs. We do offer discounted program rates for members. Q. Can my child come to the Kroc Center alone? A. Children must be at least 12 years of age to be onsite without an adult 18 years or older. Q. Are Kroc Center programs affordable? A. The Kroc Center strives to price all fee based programs fairly and accessibly. All programs are priced to cover the cost of providing them. For those in our community who cannot afford to pay, we offer scholarships. For scholarship information, please call 619.269.1430. Q. Why does The Kroc Center need my money? A. Mrs. Kroc’s investment in this community was structured in a way that requires ongoing community support. Her endowment covers 41% of the Kroc Center’s $10 million annual budget. That means The Salvation Army Kroc Center must raise $6 million each year through community engagement including program service fees, membership dues, and fundraising efforts.

Pictured here are only some of the employees who have devoted their time and talents, to the Kroc Center, for ten or more years. "I love what the Kroc Center has provided for the Community. The neighbors all comment what a difference the Kroc Center has made to their neighborhood. The Kroc Center provides such a great experience for young and old alike."
