Ely Community Center

A gathering place. A fresh start. A community you help build.

The Ely Community Center is more than a building—it’s where Ely comes together. Housed in a beautifully restored historic space, we host everything from bingo and art shows to soup contests, craft fairs, and neighborhood meetings.

Every week, people of all ages walk through our doors to connect, create, learn, laugh, and lend a hand. Whether it’s a hot meal, a support group, a vendor fair, or just a place to sit with friends, the Community Center makes it happen.

Thanks to generous local support, this former senior center is becoming a vibrant, multi-generational gathering place. But we’re still a work in progress—and your support helps us continue making the space more welcoming, accessible, and ready for whatever our community needs next.

💛 When a town has a place to gather, incredible things happen. Thank you for helping us build it.
