Donate now, a matching donation is available

Right now, if you donate to the Parkland School purchase, your donation will be matched by a local philanthropist. Please give to the cause so Parkland can reopen this building as a community services center.

PLU has generously offered to lower the purchase price by $350,000, if the PCA can raise another $500,000 toward the purchase by January 31! They need each person in Parkland to give $5 or $10, more if you can. Lot and lots of donors, small and large are needed to make grant applications look better. Each of you needs to give something, no matter how small, if you can. The long run benefit to the community will be astronomical.

Parkland Community Assn. (PCA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit so donations are eligible for tax donation. The group meets on Tuesday nights at Trinity Lutheran Church at 6 p.m. The diverse community of Parkland needs to be represented in the decisions about how to raise money and use this building. Please join, donate and bring your ideas!

The plans for the building include recreation (gym), leasing of classrooms for social services, mental health, community meetings, a business incubator, providing safe spaces for youth, seniors, and community to gather and share multicultural experiences. It will support access to health, nutrition, wellness resources, recreation, fitness, theater, performing arts, language, classes and resources for workforce preparation and business incubator.

    What are we saving the school for, in other words, what is planned for the building to be used for?

      Right this moment we are composing the list for legislative funding. It includes events, classes, workshops, leases for a business incubator, recreation for youth and seniors and more.

      The Parkland Community Association will lease portions of the building to community services along with providing meeting space for other local non-profit groups. They hope the beautiful gymnasium can host some youth programs like a Boys and Girls Club.
