We’ve purchased the building. Now, your year-end gift to Flourish Community Hub will help transform the historic building at 225 West 5th Avenue into welcoming spaces for celebrations, learning, entrepreneurship, and connection.

Our first-phase goal is $1.8 million to strengthen the building, renew its exterior, and prepare the lobby and east wing with flexible event and coworking space, along with a café.

What Your Gift Will Help Make Possible

A stronger, more welcoming building:
Structural repairs and exterior improvements that protect its future and reflect our commitment to the community.

Spaces that bring people together:
Flexible rooms for celebrations, workshops, meetings, and community events.

Room for ideas and opportunity:
Coworking space that supports entrepreneurs and our workforce development plans.

Designed for multiple uses, these spaces will serve a variety of community needs. In addition, these updates open up immediate revenue streams that will help support and sustain the Hub’s ongoing work in the community.

An Important Step Toward a Bigger Vision

This first phase is part of a larger vision for recreation, wellness, learning, and opportunity at our North Campus—complementing the care and essential support available through our South Campus. Future phases will include an indoor playground, ninja gym, skating rink, gymnasium, fitness rooms and more!

This building has brought the people of Gary together for generations. Your generosity can help carry that purpose forward.
