About Us
The main center features over 4,000 sq ft of available space - we rent out individual rooms or the entire facility, including a commercial kitchen (see Hall Rental to the left). BCC social service programs have been established to meet the basic needs of those in the community. Our clientele include the poor, the hungry, the homeless, and the disadvantaged from throughout the region - young and old, teens and families with young children. Many are veterans and people with mental health disorders and/or physical disabilities.
Mission
