Free & Reduced Cost Training
As a nonprofit organization, we will provide free and reduced-cost training opportunities for professionals, early childhood educators, and community members. Expanding and improving child care in our region is one of our major goals. We will also be converting one portion of the building into a community thrift store which will be a worksite for our Learning Together participants (young parents) to gain valuable hands-on retail experience.

Our Plan
The Banquet Hall will also be used as a Training Center for professionals and community members! One of our main goals is to improve and expand child care in our region by hosting trainings for early childhood educators starting in the summer of 2023!
The “bar” will be renovated to become a community thrift store by 2024 where our Learning Together participants will learn valuable retail and customer service skills, so they are prepared to enter the workforce!
As always, Community Bingo is held here every Friday and Sunday and will continue!
