The player must turn in bundles in order to restore the Community Center. Bundles are basically donations and they are turned into forest spirits called Junimos. Once completed, there is a ceremony, JojaMart goes out of business, Pierre’s general store is open all week, and Clint spends all day at the Community Center on Fridays. Definitely don’t expect to complete the Community Center in the first year. It is good to know how to get what is needed though, as that will make the process much faster.
Updated On September 26, 2021, By Allison Stalberg: Completing the Community Center remains one of the biggest undertakings in Stardew Valley. It is the quest that makes its player do all the content that there is, from harvesting plants to exploring the mines. A lot of items are required. Knowing what items you need is one thing, but how to get them all is another. That is why we have added tips to this article to help you know how to get the items required to complete the many Community Center bundles.
Guide To Getting Started
Stardew Valley’s Community Center opens on a non-rainy day from the fifth day of Spring and onwards. To open it, the player has to enter it between 8 A.M. and 1 P.M. Players must enter from the direction of the Bus Stop. Entering from another direction will not trigger the cutscene needed for the Community Center to open.

Once a cutscene with Mayor Lewis plays, the Community Center will always be open. The player will get a quest called “Rat Problem.” The quest can quickly be completed by examining the Golden Scroll in the crafts room of the Community Center. The reward is a letter from the Wizard the next morning. This unlocks another quick quest called “Meet the Wizard.”
The “Meet the Wizard” quest is completed once the player enters the Wizard Tower. He will give a potion that allows the player to read the language of the Junimos. Now the real work begins.
The Bundles Guide
With the ability to read Junimos language, the player can read the writing in the various rooms of the Community Center. They show bundles that need donations. Once a bundle is completed, the Juminos offer various rewards.

There are six rooms in the Community Center and a total of 30 bundles. It’s important to know that bundle progress can always be checked anyway by clicking the Golden Scroll icon that sits at the top right of the player menu. Also, the quality of the items for the bundles does not matter. It is best to save higher quality items for selling or events.
Visit and see what the Traveling Cart has in stock often for the purpose of completing bundles. There is always a small chance that items required for certain bundles will appear in stock. Items the traveling cart will never have that are for bundles include Aged Roe, Blobfish, Squid Ink, Frozen Tear, Ancient Fruit, Dinosaur Mayo, Roe, Quartz, Prismatic Shard, Fire Quartz, Earth Crystal, Hay, Lava Eel, Aquamarine, Ancient Doll, Frozen Geode, Wheat Flour, Sweet Gem Berry, and White Algae.
Crafts Room Bundles
The Crafts Room has six bundles to complete. Completing all the bundles will give the player a great reward: a bridge to the Quarry area. This room will likely take more than the first year to complete, especially when considering its bundles are based on seasons.
Spring Foraging Bundle’s completion will reward the player with 30 Spring Seeds. Springs Seeds can sprout Wild Horseradish, Daffodils, Leeks, and Dandelions if planted in the Spring season.
Summer Foraging Bundle’s completion will reward the player with 30 Summer Seeds, which can grow Spice Berries, Grapes, and Sweet Peas. It also only requires three items.

The Vault Bundles
The vault is unlocked after completing four bundles. Its completion will get the player access to the Calico Desert. Due to this, it should be one of the first rooms completed. The Calico Desert can help complete future bundles.

The vault is a little special, as it is purely completed through donations of gold. In total, the player is going to need to donate 42,500 gold to complete the vault. The rewards with various donations include three chocolate cakes, 30 quality fertilizer, a lightning rod, and a crystalarium.
Pantry Bundles
Like the Crafts Room, the Pantry also has six bundles. Completing all of them will get the player a Greenhouse, which is highly desired since it allows players to grow certain crops year-round instead of just seasonally.

Fish Tank Bundles
The fish tank will only appear after one bundle is completed. Once the fishing bundles are complete, the reward is the glittering boulder to be removed near the entrance to the Mines. Willy will also reward the player with a copper pan to collect items from water. The fish tank has six bundles in all.

Adventurer’s Bundle’s completion will get the player a small magnet ring, which increases the magnetic radius around the character by one tile.

The Missing Bundle
With all the above completed, the Community Center is complete. However, there is a missing bundle. It will become available to the player whenever the next rain or storm happens.
It is worth a player’s time, as completing it rewards them with the abandoned JojaMart turning into a movie theater. Its required donations are a little difficult to get through.
