Sarah Gibson Library and Resource Center at Build Promise

Sarah Gibson valued literacy and education because she saw how they bring opportunity for people to achieve personal success and thereby enrich their communities. She embraced and bettered her community from the family bakery, at Indiana University while listening to Hoagy Carmichael’s Stardust, to Jacksonville, Rochester and Buffalo. She wanted to leave a legacy of opportunity for those who are struggling. Build Promise, Inc. includes shelter beds for men as well as wrap around support for the whole community including job training, mental and physical health, literacy, Veteran support and much more. A dedicated space there will be The Sarah Gibson Library and Resource Library. It will include books, reading areas and computer access which has become so vital for learning, accessing support services and job searches. With the help of Sarah and other like-minded individuals and organizations, Build Promise will open its doors in August or September 2025. Sarah has touched so many lives already and her legacy of literacy will touch so many more. Thank you for joining Sarah in helping to make the world a better place.
