They have a very organized food pantry and clothing/supply room available to those in need. They serve breakfast, lunch AND dinner to the homeless Mon-Fri.

Was told about this place from a guy at Amused after we bought some skate boards there, headed over…read moreto this place and the skate park was very clean and a lot bigger and nice then I would have thought they would have around this area. After skating for a while a gentlemen came out and told us that we needed helmets and need to fill out some paper work, so we heading inside to find they had a con session stand basketball courts, weight rooms, a swim pool and much much more. Outside of here they have soccer fields and other sports fields. I recommend anyone in this area that is looking for fun or faith, they should check out this places website and see all they have to offer, they have memberships for everything inside, but it's free to skate at there skate park.

The other half of the pool is zero entry and great for kids. The place is always spotless and the basketball courts, indoor track, excercise room, and cafe are worth the membership!

We work at a different food bank so we thought it'd be cool to visit and see what's the same and what's different. It was super easy to go online and sign up for a shift. The directions were clear and I appreciated the easy parking. The staff person and the crew of regular volunteers were so friendly! We were bagging up bulk Cheerios into family-sized bags. We had a blast and they were even kind enough to show us around afterwards. The other volunteer projects that day included bagging fresh green beans and sorting donated food items.

My girlfriend and I visited the Farm at Prophetstown this weekend after checking out the Tippecanoe…read moreBattlefield Museum earlier in the day and realizing this was right down the road. The site is a working farm depicting 1920s farm life, complete with two homes that were built from kits the original owners ordered from the Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog. They're fully furnished with period-appropriate materials and visitors can browse through at their leisure. There's also a barn for the animals and a blacksmith shop. We had a quick visit because it was a cold, rainy March day, but the animals were a particular highlight. The farm houses were neat, but I think we would have enjoyed them more if we'd visited when there were historic interpreters to discuss the buildings and their contents. Still, a nice afternoon trip.

I find the farm to be so delightful. We went on a "Meet the animals" day, and I got to meet all…read moresorts of critters! So what if I was the only adult there without a child. Don't judge me. I love that all their animals are rescued and rehomed, and they emphasize that mission while still using age-appropriate language. For example, adults can tell that the female mini horse is a rescue and came from a bad situation, but kids just know she's skittish. That's just about perfect. I also appreciate that I know that none of the animals (in particular, the cows and chickens) are going to be dinner for anyone. I recommend following their social media. They tend to give announcements about events, as well as generally let you know what's going on with the animals at the farm.

They basically stand around chatting with one another. Pool area is flooded with kids. I get it, YMCA is a family friendly facility. But if you're looking for a place to get in a good swim workout, be prepared to share the lanes with kids playing around. Again, the staff does nothing. I was all around disappointed with my experience and found I just wasn't using the facility as I was more annoyed when I left on the whole. If you are looking for a serious place to work out, VASA and Planet Fitness have great facilities for as little as $10 per month. Skip this kids playground!

I think they do a really great job of creating different activities to do with the students to keep them entertained and learning. My daughter is always smiling and bouncing with excitement when I pick her up. She especially loves when they make and enjoy spaghetti for "snack." Sometimes I wish I was getting to enjoy their "snack" with them, because they are more like a full course meal! I appreciate how much the staff stays in communication with me as well. I would recommend the Hanna Center for after school care to everyone.

There's some nice deals put through the emails with my rewards program however often narrowly stuck with higher spending minimums which I find funny someone comes to Goodwill looking to spend more than ten bucks. I would like to see more frequent discounts to help me entertain checking out everyday items, helping Goodwill clear out shelves, and making better use of our time.
