Celebrating the Salvation Army Kroc Center

Gone are the days when we could buy a life membership at a gym and call it a day.  Last October, I was torn between leaving my neighborhood gym and finding a new place. I had been a member for several years at the gym, and was paying top dollar.  My personal experience, had been that the teachers were overall great, but the turnover was high.  The exercise machines were 75-80% operational,   and the atmosphere was mature.  My quest at the end of  my membership was to save money but still be able to exercise.

The journey led me to the Salvation Army Kroc Center.  The center was a generous gift from the late Joan Kroc.  Joan Kroc was the wife of  the late Ray Kroc the creator of the McDonald's chain.

 She recognized the need of a safe gathering place, a place with facilities and trained professionals to nurture children’s social skills, arts appreciation and athletic potential.

Mrs. Kroc The Salvation Army with $90 million to build the first Kroc Center in the Rolando neighborhood of San Diego. . She was so pleased with what was accomplished here that she left $1.6 billion to The Salvation Army to build centers like this across the country. Today, there are 26 Kroc Centers nationwide.
