About Our Mission
For more than 30 years, Memorial CDC has supported families and individuals throughout Evansville’s center city and surrounding neighborhoods. Our work spans childcare, housing, youth programs, wellness initiatives, community employment, and more — all grounded in responsive, local commitment. We continue to strengthen neighborhoods such as Bayard Park, Lincoln Avenue, Walnut Street, and the surrounding Evansville area through accessible programs that uplift lives.
Over the decades, partnerships with schools, churches, businesses, city departments, and grassroots leaders have shaped the heart of our mission. From building homes to launching youth employment programs, our progress reflects the resilience and collaboration of our community.
We’re Community Builders.
We help individuals and families regain stability and dignity through supportive services that meet practical needs and open doors to new beginnings. We believe restoration is the first step toward long-term progress.
Meaningful Change Happens Together.
We develop programs that build skills, confidence, and opportunity — from early childhood education to youth employment and family care. Strengthening people strengthens communities.
