Waupun Community Center

Background Story

In 2018, in collaboration with numerous community partners, a vision was created for a new intergenerational facility to enhance the quality of life in Waupun.

In 2022, the City of Waupun was awarded a $4.9M Neighborhood Investment Fund Grant to construct a 22,000 square foot facility that will be home to the Waupun Senior Center, Waupun Food Pantry, and REACH Waupun.

The facility will be located at 520 McKinley St, the former Central Wisconsin Christian Elementary School site. The facility will have common spaces for community meeting and gathering, a regulation-sized gym and a fitness center. We envision that the facility will serve the needs of area residents for generations to come.
