The Third Street Center

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the newly renovated Third Street Center opened its doors May 1, 2010. Today it is home to three dozen tenants, including over 20 of the Roaring Fork Valley’s nonprofit organizations. Strengthening the bonds of our community life, the Center serves as a vibrant gathering place that is used by countless people for wonderfully diverse purposes.

However wonderful a resource the Third Street Center is to so many individuals and families, the job of improving and supporting it is not over. Fulfilling our mission of providing a cost-effective home to nonprofits and promoting community requires ongoing support. Yes, tenant rents and Common Area Maintenance payments towards expenses such as utilities and cleaning pay a portion of the TSC budget. However, added support is needed to keep tenants’ rents and utilities expenses affordable over time.

Donations from supporters go towards funding essential maintenance costs and new projects such as making energy savings improvements that benefit all the tenants. Most importantly, contributions from community members help pay down the Center’s long-term mortgage of $2.5 million.

Your gift will help ensure that the Third Street Center can continue to meet the evolving needs of both our tenants and the community. You can choose to make the Center part of your annual giving or make donations to honor and remember loved ones and friends. Every contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated.
