CHICO, Calif. - The Salvation Army held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday for its brand new community center in Chico.
The new $5 million building is located at 576 East 16th Street, Chico.
The building is 18,700 square feet and includes a gym, nursery, new offices and classrooms.
"To have a facility where we are able to heighten and have more creative opportunities for people that are on the edge of their housing," said Arwyn Rodriguera, captain of the Salvation Army in Chico. "I want to serve them and be able to help them on a higher level and this facility let us be able to do that."
There is a grand opening celebration for the center on Saturday, June 29. It will feature a dodgeball tournament to raise money for the kids camp, a bounce house and free food.
For those interested in attending, the event goes from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the center's location on East 16th Street.
