Our Story

Our facility has been a staple in the community for years. Initially built as a school the building has been home to various community serving organizations throughout the years. In recent years the facility has been managed by the Greater Alliance Foundation. In 2021 two Mount Union administrators received a grant to look at alleviating childhood poverty. As part of that work they brought agencies together to begin looking at gaps in services in the Alliance area. From those conversations it was determined that our facility would be a great site for multiple agencies to expand or move to. Since that time we have become home to 8 partner organizations and continue to network with nearly 50 throughout the area. The facilities ongoing maintenance is coordinated by the Greater Alliance Foundation in partnership with the Regula Center at Mount Union.
