Manor Multi-Service Center (FMMSC), a community based social
service organization, located on the near eastside of
Indianapolis, was founded in 1973 by a group of concerned
residents. Originally sponsored and operated by the City of
Indianapolis, the Center became a non-for-profit
organization in 1977 and began outreach programs to youth
and adults in 1980, joining Community Centers of
Indianapolis in 1983. Our mission is to empower the lives of
our neighbors by offering individuals and families the
services and supports they need to become self-sufficient.
Approximately 90% of the clients are single women with an
average of two children. The average per capita income in
the FMMSC service area is $16,318, 75% of our catchments area
is African American, with 24.6% of the families living below
the poverty line.
