We recognize that one of the best ways we can contribute to the communities we work in is by sharing our talents with local organizations that have a vision for how to make their cities better places to live. In Springfield, Tennessee where we have been working with NorthCrest to construct a new medical office building, their COO, Randy Mills, introduced us to a local non-profit called Greater Faith Community Action Corporation (GFCAC) .
With the donation of Bransford High School, a city landmark, GFAC had begun working to develop the property into a community center to support the low income neighborhood that surrounds the old school. We partnered with GFAC, donating much of our time to help them envision what the community center could be. We’ve provided a master plan that will make the old school mascot – the Bransford Lion – and the community – roar with pride. Programming for the center includes after school care and tutoring, a community life center, a playground, soccer field, and outdoor performing arts venue.
The Bransford Community Center has now formed as its own entity and is raising funds to implement Phase 1 and 2, and seeking to hire a director!
