Our Places
Some of the places that are important to us:
Banyan House
2528 16th Avenue South, Mpls. 55404
The Banyan House was purchased and renovated in 2000 for use of Banyan programs and office space. The Banyan House was the center of activity for seven years as the block club, kids club, after school and ASPIRE! met there. Growth pushed Banyan out of the small house around the corner to the Banyan Community Center in the spring of 2007.
Banyan Community Center
2647 Bloomington Avenue South, Mpls. 55407
The Banyan Community Center is located in the former Olive Presbyterian Church building. Previously, Banyan used the gym space once a week for almost seven years. Currently, Banyan space has increased to include gym use and a kitchen, offices, and several classrooms. A partnership with Hope Presbyterian Church makes this space possible for Banyan, and we are most grateful!
