RESOURCE CENTER
Our History
The Macedonia Family Resource Center was founded with a vision to address and alleviate the pressing needs of the Macedonia community. Established in response to a 2003 UNCG study that identified illiteracy as a major issue, the Center began with initial support from Wesley Memorial Methodist Church and the dedicated efforts of local residents.
​
Initially focusing on educational support for the community's youngest members through a Head Start Program, the Center quickly expanded its scope. It introduced a variety of youth programs aimed at fostering holistic development, including cooking classes, dance, video and photography workshops, and baseball, as well as the Infinity and Beyond summer camp, which combines learning with fun to keep children engaged year-round.
​
Recognizing that community challenges affect all age groups, Macedonia broadened its services to support the entire family. This included launching a satellite library for computer access, offering GED and ESL classes in partnership with local institutions, youth game and music rooms, and establishing a neighborhood association to ensure community voices were heard.
​
Today, the Macedonia Family Resource Center continues to provide a comprehensive array of services designed to build long-term resilience and empowerment, enriching lives through education, support, and a deep commitment to fostering community growth.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower individuals by enriching their spiritual, social, and family lives through God's love. We achieve this by assessing the needs of the Macedonia community, creating tailored programs, and implementing them to deliver both emergency services and educational resources that enhance the future for those in need.
Our Impact
The Macedonia Family Resource Center is a driving force for positive change in our community, dedicated to fostering long-term improvements through sustainable initiatives.​
Our impact extends through a diverse range of programs designed to nurture personal growth and community development. From teaching essential life skills in cooking and personal finance, to providing tutoring services, to offering creative outlets through video, art, dance, music, and baseball, our programs are tailored to enrich the lives of youth.
​
Recognizing that community challenges span all generations, the center has broadened its offerings to support families comprehensively. Our satellite library facilitates access to technology for job searches and other critical services. Partnerships with our neighborhood association ensures that all community voices are heard.
​
Through these initiatives, the Macedonia Family Resource Center not only addresses immediate needs but also lays the foundation for a more resilient and engaged community. By equipping residents with vital life skills and fostering a deep sense of pride, we contribute to a stronger, more productive future for High Point, reducing crime and unemployment while enhancing overall quality of life. Our commitment is to drive meaningful, lasting change and support the city’s growth from our corner of the community.
