Kenosha WI, (February 13, 2024) Shalom Center will celebrate the Grand Opening of their HOPE HUB Community Center on Friday, March 1 from 12:30pm to 2:30pm. Ribbon Cutting will be at 12:45 pm. HOPE HUB is in Shalom Center at 4314 39th Avenue in Kenosha. Local dignitaries and donors will be present. The public is invited. Refreshments will be served.
The 10,500-square foot addition will serve as a community center plus provide a much-needed warming and cooling shelter. Case management along with washers, dryers, showers, and food will be onsite. For those in need, the new facility will have housing and homeless diversion professionals to help connect them with vital services.
“HOPE HUB Community Center will enable people to get the services, the case management, the wrap-around services that they need to continue to make a better life for themselves,” said Wendy Cross, Community Center Director. “Individuals and families in our community often just do not know where to go to get help. The new center will function as a one-stop shop.”
The opening of HOPE HUB is another exciting and historic event for Shalom Center. An anonymous donor underwrote the $2.4 million addition. “That is a person who believes in our mission, vision and goals,” stated Tamarra Coleman, executive director of Shalom Center. “We can’t thank that anonymous donor enough. Because of that commitment we are going to be able to help so many more people.” The addition was designed by Kueny Architects and built by Bane-Nelson.
