The Coalition For Kids began in 1998 when local business leaders and concerned citizens realized a need to help underprivileged children and youth make better choices on their path to becoming responsible adults.
Funding was contributed to purchase a 9,700 square foot community center called "The Rock".
After a complete renovation, the Grand Opening was held February 27, 1999 (with over 500 in attendance) marking the beginning of the objective to improve the lives of children a reality. After more than a decade of service to our community, the Coalition for Kids has changed the lives of thousands of low-income children! The Rock Community Center is now a vibrant hub at the center of C4K's programs!
