History of the HELP Center in pictures (from 2015 to date)

          It took nearly 4 years to convert an old hardware, that had been vacant for over 12 years, into the HELP Center at 1396 Kass Circle. After purchasing the building in 2015, PHP started fundraising so they could renovate the facility into a community resource center.  Below shows some of the steps to completion: 

 

  1. PHP buys Walker Plaza & changes name to PHP Plaza               2. This room became PHP's dining room                     3. The future multipurpose room before renovation
