Specialties
The Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center is a 12.4-acre family support, education, recreation, and cultural arts center, made possible by a generous gift by the late philanthropist Mrs. Joan Kroc. 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.
History
Established in 2002.
The late philanthropist Joan Kroc donated $ 87 million to The Salvation Army in 1998:
$ 47 million was designated to build and equip the facility and $ 40 million was placed into an endowment to subsidize the Center’s operating budget.
Over 350 volunteers met for four years to plan the Center’s facilities and programs.
The Center is open to members and the general public. Facility rental, volunteer, and sponsorship opportunities are available.
The Salvation Army Kroc Center opened to the public on June 19, 2002. Special guests for the dedication included Mrs. Joan Kroc, Fred Rogers, star of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood, local mayors, and key leadership of The Salvation Army.
