In its early years, the agency's sole purpose was to provide a haven for neglected and orphaned children. Today, however, the Annie Malone Children and Family Service Center has truly become a multi-faceted social services organization.

Our continuing mission is to improve the lives of children and their families, but the services we offer have continually evolved to better address the problems of a changing society. Annie Malone annually serves more than 130 children in Residential Care, 200 families in the Crisis Center, 400 day care clients, and 1000 teenagers through Community Based Programs.

To find out more about any of the services described below, or if you are interested in our parenting or life skills classes, summer day camp, or after school programs, please call us at 314-531-0120.
