In 2003, Joan Kroc, wife of McDonald's founder Ray Kroc, died, and entrusted to The Salvation Army the largest gift ever given to a private charity, for the express purpose of building and endowing Kroc Centers, envisioned as state-of-the-art recreational and arts facilities in under-served communities throughout the nation.[3]
