From Vision to Reality—Together We Build

Nestled on a scenic 4.94-acre site in the heart of our community, the future Place of Purpose Community Facility is more than a building—it is a beacon of hope, opportunity, and transformation. With limited childcare centers in Johnston, many families are struggling to balance work demands with reliable care options. This 16,500-square-foot facility is designed to meet those needs, offering a dedicated space to empower youth, children, and families while laying the foundation for lifelong growth, stability, and success.


Now, it's time for renovation. Join us on Our Empower Us Campaign to help bring this vision to life.—DONATE TODAY!
