Community Spotlight- Hamilton Community Center Breaks Ground on New Facility

On June 8, 2025, the Hamilton Community Center officially broke ground on its new building — a project designed to expand its ability to serve the people of Hamilton with care, connection, and dignity.

The new facility will feature:

• A commercial kitchen for expanded meal preparation

• Meeting rooms for classes, community gatherings, and social events

• Welcoming spaces where residents of all ages can connect, play games, and enjoy one another’s company

This project is being made possible thanks to generous community support — from the donation of land to the funding for construction and daily operations. The Community Center has become a vital hub for Hamilton, currently serving over 90 home-delivered meals per day and welcoming more than 20 guests daily for in-person meals, games, and fellowship.

A heartfelt thank you to State Senator Brian Birdwell for attending the ceremony and sharing a few words, and to Dairy Queen of Hamilton for bringing treats to help celebrate the occasion.

If you’d like to support the effort, donations can be made to:

Hamilton Community Center
P.O. Box 615
Hamilton, TX 76531

Or in person at the existing Community Center on Main Street, or through Lucy Lee at Lee Health Care.

This new space will help strengthen the community connections that make Hamilton such a special place to call home.
