Nestled on a scenic 4.94-acre site in the heart of our community, the future Place of Purpose Community Facility is more than just a building—it’s a beacon of hope, opportunity, and transformation. With no childcare centers in Johnston, families are struggling to match the demands of the typical work schedule. Spanning 16,500 square feet, this space is dedicated to empowering youth, children, and families, creating a foundation for growth and success.
Now, it's time for renovation. Join us on Our Empower Us Campaign to help bring this vision to life.—Donate today!
