The Center’s mission since 1883 is to invest in a strong, thriving Little Falls community with specifically targeted programs for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, and it states that it is a cause-driven organization that promotes youth and family development, healthy lifestyles, and social responsibility. It is a 501C3 organization and describes itself as the longest-running health and fitness organization in the area, with 140 years of experience and a history of developing micro-local, community-based programs. Certified Personal Trainers review goals and develop customized programs for participants.
The Center’s sponsored programs include After School Youth Programs, a Childcare Program in partnership with Benton Hall, the Summer Camps program, a Food Bank and Food Pantry, a Community Garden, Housing & Emergency Shelter, a Connect Through Music series of free concerts, and Head Start. Many youth programs are free or offered at substantially reduced fees, and financial assistance with scholarships is available for child care, youth sports, swimming lessons, and other youth activities. Membership dues and donations support community programs such as the Food Bank, After School Youth Programs, Childcare Program, free concert series, and Summer Camps. The Center states that active-duty members of the military can use the facility for free while on leave, and that all other members of the military receive a 10% discount on all memberships, and it offers a free 3-day guest pass.
The Food Pantry assists Little Falls individuals and families who are in need of food and distributes holiday baskets on Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and the food-sense cooperative buying program allows participants to nearly double their food-buying power and is run by volunteers from the local community and churches. The Community Garden grows fresh vegetables to benefit the Food Pantry and offers an opportunity to learn about gardening, and Housing & Emergency Shelter provides rooms and apartments for male, female, and family tenants available by the night, week, and month. The Center works with partners and volunteers to facilitate programs such as childcare, tutoring, after-school youth activities, the food bank, emergency shelter, the Community Garden, and the Food Pantry.
The organization lists Executive Director Tony DeLuca and Aimee Burke (Mohawk Valley) in its leadership, and provides named contacts for volunteer information, birthday splash parties, the Food Pantry, the Community Garden, and Housing & Emergency Shelter. The Center states that it has a culture of inclusion where every person, no matter their income, age, or socio-economic background, is valued and respected within a safe and open environment. Testimonials from long-time participants describe experiences with the swim team, long-term use of the Center’s facilities, and the affordability and convenience of memberships.
