THE GATHERING | HOPE CENTER KC
The Hope Center, deeply rooted in Kansas City’s East side for over two decades, specializes in Youth and Community development through family outreach programs, child and youth development initiatives, monthly community events, and housing projects. The new event center will enable the staff and volunteers to enhance their services and support the diverse community. The center will serve as a vital hub for outreach programs, providing resources, encouragement, and enrichment through workshops, mentoring, education, and recreational activities for children, youth, and families.
The Gathering at Hope Center KC is a renovation project converting an existing 13,127 SF church into a versatile after-hours and event space. Highlights include roof replacement, masonry work, interior repairs, and new MEP systems. A 160 SF restroom addition and site work with accessible ramps are included. The transformed space will serve as an unconcentrated assembly occupancy, while the adjacent educational building remains functional during construction.
