"I could not believe the letter I received from you! It made me cry. What an awesome gift. My wife and I are both 81 and not in good health. We take great comfort in the River Walk and Kroc atmosphere."

– Recipient of a 6-month Kroc Membership

Finance Report 2020

Worth noting is the unique benefit of giving to The Kroc Center. Membership dues and the annual Kroc endowment distribution fully fund community center operations. This allows donations to be directed specifically to outreach efforts because the facility, insurance, utilities and administration expenses are already covered. Your donations were leveraged to provide more than $1 million of impact in our small community.

"Long-time Kroc Member Andy Binford has Down syndrome. He has always had a dream of making a country music album “just like George Strait.” We made a recording of Andy in our on-site music studio and gifted he and his mom a CD this past Christmas. Andy was overjoyed and overcome."

– Kevin Nelson, Kroc Wellness Manager

Projects of Impact

2020 was a year of new partnerships and expanded services. Here are the projects our team were most proud of.

30 bunk beds were purchased and 300 hours of labor were donated to the St. Vincent de Paul warming shelter to increase the number of individuals they can keep safe and out of the cold.
14,400 hours of labor were donated to Post Falls Food Bank, Panhandle Health, Second Harvest, and Kootenai County Office of Emergency Management.
$32,688 in wages were provided to part-time staff (their regular paycheck) during the COVID closure even if they were not able to work.
We were able to safely host weekly church services, 13 major events including the STEM Charter Academy graduation, and pledged $25,000 in waived rental fees to Christian Youth Theater, helping prevent them from closing.
800 individuals, ages 3 months to 89 years, were given a membership scholarship. This offers a life-line for single parents, veterans, homeless families, grandparents raising grandchildren and others carrying heavy burdens. When they need it the most, they are given daily access to heal their bodies, connect with others, and lift their spirits.

"I wear my new clothes to school every day. I needed new clothes. I have seven kids in my family. It’s hard to get clothes for everyone. Thank you and Merry Christmas."

– Clothe a Child shopping spree recipient
