Moore Community House Charity Profile

Located in the heart of east Biloxi, Moore Community House serves low-income families with quality child care, education and programs for community development, leadership, and comprehensive family counseling assessments and referrals.

Moore Community House (MCH) was founded in 1924 to serve the children of immigrant workers in the seasonal fishing industry. Today, MCH serves low-income families in east Biloxi, a neighborhood geographically bound by Biloxi Bay, the Gulf of Mexico and Keesler Air Force Base. Unfortunately, MCH's neighborhood is also economically bound by poverty. Most families served by MCH were headed by single mothers who were either working in low wage jobs or in school. MCH offers a range of programs to improve the community and help families gain self-sufficiency

MCH is a local mission agency of the United Methodist Church related to the Women's Division of the General Board of Global Ministries. Committed to east Biloxi's development, MCH believes that a neighborhood organized around its own interests can support individual dignity and self-sufficiency. MCH's programs are designed to promote community development, community solutions to neighborhood problems, and opportunities for personal growth and development .
