Bethel Neighborhood Center, established in 1911, is a community center located in the heart of Kansas City, Kansas. Serving as a support system for immigrant families and individuals, Bethel Center empowers its community members to achieve self-sufficiency and a renewed sense of hope through various programs and services. Currently, Bethel Neighborhood Center is in the midst of a capital campaign to raise $800,000 for the construction of a Multipurpose Hall Mini-gym. This much-needed facility will provide a safe space for indoor exercise, recreational activities, community health fairs, and diabetes education, among other initiatives.Generated from the website
