New Building = New and Improved Opportunities
core /k么r/: the central or most important part of something.
The Alliance has provided enduring collaboration and essential services in Southwest Missouri since its inception.
For over 20 years, the Alliance has served more than 334,000 people in a four-county area. We have rented space at numerous locations, always temporarily. In 2019, the Alliance received the generous donation of a building located at 1601 S. Wall.
The building was constructed in 1906 by the congregation of the First Church of Christ, Scientist. The facility is historical and structurally unique for the time of its construction due to the use of concrete blocks. The total gross building area is 14,816 square feet. This new building means we will have significantly more space than previously occupied by the Alliance at a fraction of the operating and overhead cost.

A new building not only represents a permanent home for the Alliance; but, more importantly, new opportunities to better serve children, families, and the communities of Southwest Missouri. We hope to raise $1,500,000 to complete the renovation of this beautiful building.
