MIDTOWN COMMUNITY CENTER

Midtown Community Center is a 501 C3 non-profit organization, founded 11 years ago by Verlynda Slaughter and a group of concerned neighbors. Their intent was to obtain a property that would be a safe haven for the children of the Midtown neighborhood, a place where they could safely do their homework and be nurtured and tutored by caring neighbors. The Community Center became a reality shortly thereafter and is also used by senior citizens in the neighborhood during school hours.

In 2005 the Midtown Community Center was also designated a Kids Café by America’s Second Harvest Food Bank which enabled every child who attended the after-school program to receive a hot meal with milk and juice Monday through Friday. The Savannah Sunrise Rotary Club started its relationship with the Center in 2004 when the club organized a Christmas party with gifts for every child and Santa Claus and his elves in attendance. This is now an annual affair, and in 2006 the center was adopted by the club as an ongoing community project. As a part of its ongoing commitment, the club donates a book each week in honor of that week’s guest speaker. The book, with a bookplate in the speaker’s name, goes into the Center’s library.
