Thank you for your interest in the Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Camden, NJ. This unprecedented project of its kind in the city of Camden will impact the families of this city and region for generations to come. The Kroc Center will be a 120,000-square foot facility will be situated on a 24 acre parcel of the 85 acre former landfill in Camden's Cramer Hill section. True to the Army's approach of "ministering to the whole person," the Kroc Center will house an array of programs designed to address the economic, educational, health, recreational and spiritual needs of the communities it will serve.

While the center will be open to all, it was Mrs. Kroc's greatest hope that it would help young people to realize their potential through an offering of varied programs and opportunities. Thus, the center will include a full size gymnasium, an indoor competition pool and water park, black box theater, community gathering plaza, media center, learning center, culinary arts teaching kitchen, choice food pantry, early childhood education center, teen center, senior center, athletic fields, health clinic and more. All programs will be inclusive to community members without discrimination.

Purchase an engraved brick to be part of our journey to a stronger Camden, to be part of our beacon of hope and agent of change.  A 4x8 brick is $50 and gives three lines of text to put a special message, to honor loved ones, celebrate family and friends, celebrate community or honor someone special in your life.  Thank you for being part of our journey!
