Timeline is to finished prior to April 2026 and the start time TBD once the grant has been approved. Should not take more than a few weeks to complete. The Gilbert Community Center, a high-traffic hub serving individuals and families throughout the week, is in urgent need of facility upgrades. The carpeted flooring throughout the building is heavily worn, visibly torn, and currently held together with duct tape at the main entrance. This creates both a safety hazard and an unwelcoming environment for community members.
This project will improve the experience and safety for hundreds of individuals who rely on the facility weekly for essential services and programs, such as food distribution, health and wellness workshops, domestic abuse support groups, beginner-level ESL courses, and teen after school programming. The center primarily serves immigrant, low-income, and underserved families and youth from North Orange County. We anticipate 10-20 club members being involved from the demolition, to help[ with install and movement of furniture.
