Give with Heart & Make a Difference

When Alyssa and her family moved from Chicago, it wasn’t until they started the Jodie Harrison Basketball League at The Community House that they truly felt at home.

“Once we found The Community House, we couldn’t believe all that it offered. From basketball to art classes, fitness to flag football and even counseling services and support for families in need, there’s something for everyone. It’s the heartbeat of the community and we’re so lucky to have it.”

With over 200,000 individuals visiting our building last year and 30,000 who made The Community House their home away from home, our vibrant community welcomes everyone to gather, grow, and give back.

Our programs don’t just bring people together - they bridge divides, unite neighbors, and strengthen the community. We believe that healthy, connected communities are built on shared experiences and mutual support. Every day, we see this belief in action: from the laughter at our summer camps to the creativity in our art classes – the true heartbeat of our community. Your support helps make these moments of joy possible. You’ve helped create more than just a place to go – you’ve helped build a home. A welcoming place where families and neighbors gather, and strangers become friends.

But to continue offering life-changing programs, ensuring all young people have access to mental health services, and building bright futures for kids in our SPARK Youth Development Initiative, we need your continued help to make our efforts go even further.
