ABOUT THE FAMILY LIFE CENTER FOUNDATION

Established in February 1982 as a public foundation, the Shiloh Family Life Center Foundation is a tax-exempt charitable organization responsible for development and management of community service programs that operate through the Henry C. Gregory III Family Life Center.

The Family Life Center is a multipurpose facility built in 1982 through the vision of the late Rev. Henry C. Gregory III. The board mission of the Family Life Center is to strengthen and nurture families, particularly those families in the surrounding Shaw Community in the District of Columbia. The Center brings together families and individuals of all ages, races, and backgrounds in a wholesome environment for educational, cultural and recreational activities and spiritual renewal. The Family Life Center Foundation provides community programs to help individuals and families cope with pressures produced by the changing society.

One goal of the Family Life Center Foundation is to provide care from "the cradle to the rocking chair" for persons living under the shadows of poverty, violence, drug abuse and other pathological conditions that can cripple families in the struggle to survive in modern society. The following programs represent seven tangible examples of care and support provided by the Foundation to families in the District of Columbia.
