Kroc Centers in the Midwest
In 2004, Joan Kroc, wife of McDonalds' founder Ray Kroc, bequeathed The Salvation Army with a $1.5 billion gift, the largest individual philanthropic gift to a single organization. The funds are to be used to construct and develop world-class recreational, educational and ministry centers that will provide life-enriching, if not life-altering, possibilities to people from all walks of life. In the Midwest (Central Territory) seven locations have been approved to begin the final development phase.
