In 1995, Historic First Presbyterian Church and its congregation responded to the call of the neighborhood in creating Downtown Urban Community Kids, a separate and independent 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non profit corporation. The downtown area has changed over the years. In 2008 DUCK was forced to find a new location. In an effort to save money, First Historic Presbyterian Church (FHPC) closed the second and third floors and asked all tenants to find new locations.
God has been steadfast and blessed us with a new partnership with Betania Presbyterian Church. Today DUCK is located at 39th Ave and Thomas. We have a new location that is a ideal fit for our program and is strategically located to help us better serve our kids and their families. Our fall program kicked off on October 8 with twenty-eight eager students registered for our 2008-2009 program.
Our dedication to serving inner city kids has never wavered!
