THE RONALD ST. JOHN COMMUNITY CENTER

The Harrison Food Bank is diligently working to transform and enhance the facilities of the former VFW building. With its new identity as The Ronald St. John Community Center, the site will be upgraded with larger and improved restrooms, an expanded commercial kitchen, and convenient handicap ramps to access both levels. Ensuring safety and comfort, the center will also feature an enlarged overhang to shield residents from adverse weather conditions and incorporate new energy-efficient mechanical systems. These renovations are set to offer a more welcoming and functional space for the residents to enjoy and benefit from.

Our vision is to have a Community Center with a commercial kitchen and ADA restrooms and entrances on the upper floor of the Food Bank building.  The  Community Center will offer education to area residents.  We envision exercise programs as well as classes on cooking, sewing, and canning.  We would also hope to offer first-time home buyers education, and health screenings as well as provide a safe center for camaraderie.
