What We Do

In the spirit of the Rev. Dr. Marting Luther King, the Multi Purpose center provides several necessary programs to our community, to help adults, children, families and elders lead valuable, productive, healthy and happy lives. With a dedicated staff of caring professionals, and funded by the generous donations of our community and public grants, the Center has served Rockland since 1978.

"At the heart of all that civilization has meant and developed is community- The mutually cooperative and voluntary venture of humanity to assume a semblance of responsibility for his community family."

-Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
