Project Scope

Benefits of a New Center

Ritter Center now owns the building at 800 A Street and will be renovating the interior to help provide the very best services to meet the varied physical, mental, and social support needs of our clients and patients.

The Lobby

A calm, inviting reception and large waiting area will be stocked with refreshments and TV’s
and staff will be on hand to welcome and guide all clients and patients to their appointments.

Food Pantry

Storage for twice as much inventory, a walk-in cooler/freezer, a dedicated entrance, two walk-up windows, space for 10
households to line up inside, and a large workspace for staff and volunteers.

Our Progress

This is the most ambitious and transformative project in our history, with a total cost of $14.5M. Ritter's Campaign Cabinet is raising funds through its Building Hope, Healing Lives Capital Campaign with a minimum goal of raising $10.5M!

Ritter Center expects construction to begin early 2024.

Project Collaborators

There are several companies, firms and agencies working with us to build (literally) and brand our new facility.

Central Location

The new center will be centrally located with neighboring partners, including St. Vinnie's, the Center for Domestic Peace, and Vivalon's Healthy Aging Campus, which is adjacent to the food pantry.

All organizations provide complementary programs and are within walking distance for for our neighbors in need.
