Dear Friends, This year, Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center’s new mission statement, to empower individuals by serving as a resource for help and hope, continues to sharpen our focus on our two most critical priorities: connecting youth and adults to resources, learning and job opportunities; and building greater community involvement through volunteerism and financial support of our mission.

Thanks to the support of the entire MRNC family, we worked together to serve more than 9,000 individuals and families this past year. Families and individuals in crisis were connected to community resources and supportive services, youth were equipped with the resources they need to learn, gain new life skills and make healthy choices, and working-age adults were able to access opportunities to grow their skill sets, improve their financial conditions, and secure stable employment with health benefits for their families. Since 1911, MRNC has served as a leading organization to empower Indianapolis residents in need. The Board of Directors and professional staff at Mary Rigg strive to maintain our reputation as an outstanding community resource and cornerstone for those looking to rise above their individual barriers to achieve self-sufficiency. We continue to serve as a trusted community leader in serving people with programs that demonstrate proven effectiveness— and deliver impressive, quality results. None of the work we do would be possible without the community support and contributions we receive that benefit youth, adults, seniors, and families alike every day at MRNC. Please enjoy this report as a brief glimpse into our organization’s accomplishments this year, made possible by the hard work and dedication of the entire MRNC family, including you. Thank you for the role you play!

individuals and families found new help and new hope last year.
Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center serves as a pillar of support for those living in Southwest Indianapolis, helping our neighbors to meet their immediate and basic needs. This year alone:
2,615 children, parents and seniors in need of food were provided with meals and snacks. In total, 18,924 meals and snacks were distributed to help fight hunger. Many of the individuals and families we serve struggle to make ends meet and find it difficult to look beyond the day-to-day. Other aspects of their lives suffer as a result. Mary Rigg seeks to empower these individuals and families to reach economic stability by helping them to build their income and assets through job skills training, continuing education and secure employment.
at-risk of homelessness received emergency housing assistance, rental and utility 375 individuals assistance, and one-on-one coaching services. low-income individuals and their families received intensive job search help, employment 566 training, financial coaching and individualized supportive services provided by Mary Rigg staff. 154 additional individuals received one-time resume or other job search help. 2,500 neighbors were connected with information, referrals and access to help resources. Studies have uncovered the numerous benefits of continuous engagement in out-of-school programs throughout childhood. Such programs contribute to higher academic performances, positive social and developmental outcomes, and the prevention of many risky behaviors. Mary Rigg offers programs to youth of all ages that support them through every stage in their life.
youth were provided a safe, enriching and supportive environment to learn, grow and develop
221 outside of school hours through Mary Rigg’s before- and after-school and summer programs. at-risk students in 4 neighborhood public schools were connected with tutoring, food, clothing, 890 medical care, scholarships and after-school activities.
