The Village Green Community Center is more than a building; it is a miracle that came to be through the extraordinary commitment of individuals and groups who came together to raise $9.1 million for the building’s construction. It is a place that changes lives.
Thousands pass through the Village Green each month, giving and taking in kind. People come to connect with shelter, sustenance, laughter, art, education, inspiration, child care, dancing, wellness checks, club meetings, fitness activities, competitive games, cooking classes, crafts clubs, technology coaching, tax support, and for friendship and good company. Everyone who enters is served with respect and a smile.
In 2016, the Village Green Foundation accomplished its original mission to build a place that connects and strengthens community. Now, the Foundation's mission is to support the place that connects and strengthens community. When improvement projects are identified that can eliminate barriers to realizing the center’s full potential, the Foundation looks for funds to address them. Your contribution through the 2026 Great Give will help us further connect and strengthen all who pass through the doors.
In the 10 years since we opened our doors to the public, the Village Green Project has delivered more than a community center, it has become the heart of Kingston and a hub for people throughout North Kitsap. You can be a part of this extraordinary effort with your donation to the Village Green Foundation.
