Kokomo Urban Outreach is officially operating out of our new 45,000 sq. ft. home at 813 S. Union St. The doors are open, the kids are here, and the energy is incredible.
But we aren't finished yet.
We are now in the final phase of our Capital Campaign. Together, we’ve already raised nearly $1.1 million in cash and pledges—a massive testament to our collective vision. Now, we need your help to reach the summit.
The We Care Match is Met! Thanks to your overwhelming support, we have officially maxed out the $100,000 matching challenge sponsored by We Care of Kokomo! Every dollar was doubled, pushing us closer to our goal. Let's keep that winning momentum going!
The Finish Line: $400,000 for our Final Spaces
These aren't just finishing touches; they are essential to the promise we made to the 100 kids who walk through our doors every single week. Your support helps us completely finish the building.
1. The Window Project — $200,000
We are installing 110 energy-efficient windows throughout the facility. This project is vital to letting the natural light in and keeping our kids warm, safe, and comfortable during our winter life skills classes and mentoring sessions.
2. The UP™ Gym & Stage — $100,000
We are completing our full-scale gymnasium and the Smith Financial and Hingst Family Stage. This will serve as a safe, high-energy zone where champions are made, youth can play freely, and future community leaders can find their voice.
3. The Dignity Area — $100,000
Progress Update: As of June 2026, our community has already raised $77,000 toward this space! We are down to the final stretch.
This dedicated area features high-efficiency laundry facilities and private, "house-like" shower stalls. It ensures that students who lack access to running water or basic hygiene resources can use their earned program points to show up for school and work with absolute confidence and fresh clothes.
Be the Foundation a Local Student Stands On
We don't just hand out temporary relief—we invest heavily in the long-term infrastructure of human independence. When you give to the Final Spaces campaign, you are directly equipping a child with the tools they need to become a self-reliant adult.
We’ve Moved In. Now, Let’s Finish the Vision.
The Way of Champions: Brick Opportunity
Located on the north side of the building, this green space will feature a brick walkway leading to a circular patio. As we open the doors to our new home, we’re creating something that will last far beyond today—a permanent outdoor space that tells the story of a community that chose to show UP™ for kids.
Now, you have the opportunity to be part of it.
We’re offering commemorative bricks that will be placed in the new green space at our new building.
