Most of the people served are women, children and teens for whom poverty and isolation are tremendous obstacles to developing skills that will improve their self image and quality of life.

St. Malachi Center is about opportunity in an environment where little is to be found. More than twenty specialized programs provide opportunities to learn, socialize and expand vision beyond the neighborhood.
