GARY AND CAROL MILGARD FAMILY HOPE CENTER

Construction Process

If there’s a community that needs and deserves a HOPE Center, it’s Lakewood. People are moving in at a record pace and many of them are military men and women who would benefit greatly from family services.

In every community there are hundreds of boys and girls who are left to find their own recreation and companionship. The Boys & Girls Clubs provides support to young people that is significant but distinguishable from what they get at home, school, other private agencies, or public agencies. The Boys & Girls Clubs is a positive place that offers all kinds of educational, recreational and social activities.

The current location is small and has reached its maximum capacity. As a result kids are being turned away each year. That’s not what Boys & Girls Clubs are all about.

A HOPE Center can provide adequate space for our children while meeting the needs of the community at the same time.

HOPE Center — Multi-Tenant Use Facility

An empty Boys & Girls Club is a building going to waste. While kids are at school during the day, HOPE Centers would be used for all kinds of other activities. By partnering with the Clover Park School District, who is providing the land for the project, and other community partners within a “HOPE Center”, the community is able to utilize the building throughout the day. HOPE Centers are multi-use facilities designed to promote collaboration among non-profit agencies. By sharing resources, we can better serve youth and families in Lakewood.
