Gateway Area Community Center 1850 South Bluff Boulevard, Clinton, IA 52732

"This is one of the only places in Clinton or the surrounding area where you can find generous, helpful, and wonderful owners and staff. They have amazing things like a game room, boxing room, weight room, library etc. it is one of the best places for your kids or even yourself to go enjoy in the community and see the wonderful things that they provide."

"I am so very impressed and absolutely relieved that Gateway Area Community Center went from a dream to a lovely reality. Gateway does so much for so many, with so very little. It's impressive! Everyone who works there and volunteers there are 150% committed to serving the community and the children, to providing them with support and to being there for them no matter what their individual needs are. It's a place filled with joy and encouragement because they celebrate each success. They are making a huge difference in many lives, especially in these hard times, so if you have a few hours or a few dollars...this IS the place to donate them ...you'll never regret it."

"The Gateway Community Center is a wonderful place full of many different programs and opportunities. From the food pantry to the daily food boxes and community sharing tables, to holding the learning ceter, as well as the arcade and boxing rooms. They offer lessons, they offer free meals to people in the community every Tuesday. The safe haven room is available for those suicide survivors or people who feel like they really need a place to turn. The owners are wonderful kind people who would give the shirt off their backs to help anyone in need."

"Jorge and Norma are really amazing people who go out of there way to help others in the community. The community center has a lot of activities for the kids. Everyone should check it out it’s a safe environment for the children and they even have a team club that does a lot of activities. And if Anyone wants to volunteer they always appreciate the help. The volunteers there are also friendly and great people to."

"The owners are the sweetest people, and I appreciate having someone and somewhere to go when I am looking to get out of the house! They have boxing, game days and paint and sips that are super fun, inexpensive if not free and most importantly - no drama! I wish they were here doing this when I was a kid! Thank you all! Keep up the great work! ♡"
