The Center is one of the largest and most comprehensive community centers on the East Coast, and five years after its opening, The Salvation Army of the USA has conducted new research quantifying the economic effects in the surrounding neighborhoods from this multi-million dollar investment in an underprivileged community. Conservatively, the Kroc Center of Philadelphia contributes more than $15,264,051 annually in local value, bringing economic and social vitality to the community.
"The Salvation Army Kroc Center of Philadelphia was a complete game-changer for the level of service and impact we are able to provide in this city," said Major Robert Dixon, Director of Operations for The Salvation Army of Greater Philadelphia.
