IN, FOR AND BY THE COMMUNITY
GUESTS WELCOMED IN LAST YEAR
A place for families
“My kids have been going to The EPICENTER since they were both in Kindergarten… They have been a huge help to me with my work hours because they provide transportation to & from school. It really takes a village to raise children & the Epicenter has been a part of my village for years. My kids love the staff and fun activities they provide. We greatly appreciate the role The EPICENTER has played in our lives.“
A place for hope
With everything families are facing these days, we want to be a place where you feel you belong. In the highs of life, we want to celebrate with you and keep cheering you on. In the lows, we want you to know we’re here for you and will support you however we can. It’s what true neighbors look like. It’s what community looks like. Its what hope looks like.
