Thank you to our loyal supporters…

In 2020, the Don Bosco Community Center reopened its doors after a successful renovation. A dream made possible by the generous support of our loyal community and donors.

A little history…

In the late 1930’s, residents of the Columbus Park neighborhood decided to invest in, and forever change, the Northeast Kansas City community. After completing construction on a Community Center at 526 Campbell, the neighbors named the center after St. John Bosco, a 19th century Italian priest known for his caring spirit and dedication to children. During the 1940’s and 1950’s, the Center became a staple of Columbus Park for its varied community programming.

A big dream…

In 2015, we responded to an overwhelming call from neighbors and community leaders who wanted to see a community center brought back to Columbus Park. We envisioned a complete restoration of Don Bosco’s original building, at 526 Campbell, to bring community back to the heart of Columbus Park. We imagined a central gathering place, where neighbors could collectively learn, eat, and connect.

Starting June 2020, those dreams are now a reality. We look forward to many more years of buiilding community!
