| THE VISION OF JOAN KROC |
 |
Joan Kroc, wife of McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc, had a clear vision: build state-of-the-art facilities in underserved communities throughout the nation with the highest quality recreational and arts facilities to ensure that all children have equal opportunities to build their natural gifts and talents. In 2003, Mrs. Kroc passed away, and entrusted to The Salvation Army the largest gift ever given to a private charity for the express purpose of building and endowing Kroc Centers.
A fulfillment of that vision, the future Kroc Center in Chicago will be a state-of-the-art community and social service facility set on 33 acres on the South Side of Chicago.
