Linking Center Expansion

Expanding Today. Empowering Generations.

When the Linking Center doors opened for the first time in 2018, we had twenty-five elementry students attending the after school program and twenty-five attending the summer program. In 2026 there are now 100 elementary students in the after school program and 130 in the summer program. 

In January of 2026 we started a new after-school program dedicated to the middle school age group. With the size of the elementary programs there is no room in the Linking Center for this program. The middle schoolers are temorarily meeting in a small area in the oldest building on our campus. 

Lastly, People Helping People has been hosting a Thursday evening community meal and Bible study for all ages going all the way back to 2010. When we have all ages of students and adults, we have a shortage of classrooms and a cafeteria are to hold everyone. 

Therefore, People Helping People needs to put an addition onto the Linking Center to accommodate the growth in programs and students being served.
