            The Centers for MS goals are to reduce
            isolation, improve mobility, and provide
            resources and solutions.


            The MS Community Centers operate on the
            same day of the week at all six locations.


            Each MS Community Center day has a
            consistent structure designed to decrease
            clients’ isolation and improve their health
            and well-being. Services include:


            • Mental health counseling
            • Social and support group meeting
            • Yoga or other MS-focused exercise

            • Lunch
            • Art class


            All MS community center activities and
            services are free to registered clients of the
            Centers for Multiple Sclerosis.


            Through September 2024, the Centers for
            MS held 4,375 classes and served 1,211
            lunches to our 500+ clients. 85% of our
            clients are women, and 50% of our clients
            are over the age of 65.


            The Centers for MS are not affiliated with,

            nor receive funding from, any national
            organizations.




           91 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to local services.
