Red Kettle Campaign
When you donate to the Red Kettle, you help provide, new winter clothing, food, Kroc scholarships or emergency assistance for families in need.
Emergency Assistance & COVID Recovery
The Kroc Center partners with one deserving family at a time. Whether they need help keeping their lights and heat on, or paying for a much-needed prescription, donated funds make sure basic needs are met for struggling families.
Clothe A Child
This year will be especially challenging for families to afford proper winter clothing for their children. The Kroc Center provides a chaperoned shopping spree for new coats, boots, jeans, socks and other cold-weather essentials.
Families Feeding Families Food Drive
After the holidays is when families struggle the most. The Kroc Center’s annual food drive provides meals and a little bit of love to youth and families during the most difficult month of the year: February!
3rd Grade Swim Drowning Prevention
Third grade students receive five days of water safety and swim lessons with caring, certified instructors. Donations offset transportation costs and allow more schools to participate.
Membership For All - The Kroc Scholarship Fund
No one in need is turned away from the life-changing opportunities at The Kroc Center. Annually helping single parents, foster families, veterans and other neighbors, this is by far The Kroc Center's single greatest need for community support.
Summer Camp Scholarships
Camp Kroc day camps help children make great summer memories and learn new skills.
Kroc Water Polo Scholarship
Support the water polo team who has claimed the state title each year since its inception in 2012! Water Polo is no longer a sanctioned sport so The Kroc Center has adopted the former CHS team as our own.
