Mosser Village Family Center

How did the Mosser Village Family Center get started? In 1997 a group of community residents, fueled by St. Joseph's Lutheran Church, started meeting to discuss what could be done to bring the community together, increase communication, and improve the quality of life in the neighborhood. Other agencies, such as the Lehigh County Children and Youth Services, the Allentown School District, and the United Way joined the table. After two years of planning, the Allentown School District received a grant from the federal government for after school and summer programs as well as funding for adult English classes. Matching cash donations were solicited and grants were received for Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Donley Foundation and the United Way. The Mosser Village Family Center was on its way. The Mosser Village Family Center has been operational since October of 1999 when a director was hired. Since then three community residents have been hired. One serves as the assistant director, the second resident position is the community liaison, and the third position is the family support liaison. The Mosser Village Family Center provides the community with free programs for children and adults. The Mosser Village Family Center is a 501(C)3 non-profit agency governed by at least a 15 member board of directors. Every effort is made to have at least 51% of the board members reside in the community.
