The Friends of the Pella Community Center received a $25,000 donation from Leighton State Bank on Tuesday for their Heart of Pella initiative. 

Friends of the Pella Community Center Board President Pati VanZante spoke to those in attendance about the history of the Community Center and the role it serves in the community. The Friends of the Community Center are partnering with the City of Pella to raise funds for the enhanced “Base Plus” renovation plan, allowing for increased ADA accessibility, providing public restrooms, and improving and reopening the Heritage Gym, a non-competitive recreation space for families and groups.
