Mental Health Services

Like tossing a pebble in a pond, The Kroc Center is creating ripples through the community with the impact of its mental wellness services.

In 2023, The Kroc Center hired a licensed counselor to lead the effort to address the community's mental wellness needs. Through innovative programming and generous donor support, this effort is giving individuals, youth, and families in the community the necessary tools to have positive interactions at their own dinner tables and in their classrooms and throughout extended communities.

3rd Grade Swim Drowning Prevention

Help keep our kids safe! Third grade students receive five days of water safety and swim lessons with caring, certified instructors. 

There's two ways to donate! 

The Avista Foundation generously set up an Endowment where they will match donations up to $36,000! Donations to the endowment must be made through the Innovia Foundation.

Donate to the Endowment

Donate Used Goods

The Kroc Center cannot accept donations of used clothing, furniture or household goods like a traditional Salvation Army Corps location as we do not have a thrift store. Therefore we recommend these local organizations that do take donations of household items:

Union Gospel Mission Thrift Store
7761 N Government Wy, Coeur d'Alene, ID
(208) 664-2338

St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store
108 E Walnut Ave, Coeur d'Alene, ID
(208) 416-4699

Companions Animal Center Thrift Store
916 N 3rd Street, Coeur d'Alene, ID
(208) 667-5373


People in Kootenai County are touched by The Kroc Center’s work every year.


It takes a village to come together and create long-lasting impact. Thank you to these community-minded organizations, individuals, grantors, and donors who chose to impact their community by giving to The Kroc Center in 2023.

"I wanted to acknowledge the amazing blessing it was for my son to participate in Clothe a Child. We mostly do alright, but things get tight often. It’s things like this that remind me that God is our provider and He is so faithful. My son was so happy and his face lit up when he showed me the clothing that he had chosen. Thank you, thank you, it means SO much."

– One of 200+ grateful moms, dads and grandparents whose children received $150 worth of new winter gear.
