OUR PURPOSE	HOURS OF OPERATION
The Maple Creek Multi-Cultural Developmental Family Life Center Corporation will provide charitable services throughout its general target area including the City of Greer, Greenville County, Spartanburg County, and surrounding communities. However, the primary target area is Greer, Taylors, and Greenville communities. This area includes communities that include homes, businesses, public facilities, churches and public schools. The Maple Creek Multi-Cultural Developmental Family Life Center is located and operates out of donated space of Maple Creek Missionary Baptist Church. This 501 © 3 Corporation seeks to promote and provide numerous programs such as computer and technology skills, employment training, college preparation services, entrepreneurial development, as well as employment opportunities for economically disadvantaged persons and youth. We provide charitable services throughout the general target area including the City of Greer, Greenville County, Spartanburg County, and surrounding communities.	Monday - Friday Saturday 12:00 Noon - 8:00pm 9:00am - 3:00pm   *Available Services Expanded as Need Arise COMMUNITY NEED STATEMENT Many citizens within the targeted areas are experiencing a decrease in services and programs designed to address reading illiteracy, career and job training skills, preparation for higher learning success; social and psychological development programs; as well as, the lack of resources and support for those who are unemployed; disenfranchised, and disproportionately affected by an under performing economy. Furthermore, the recently released census report reveals an increase in household poverty, single parent households, and a growing culturally diverse community. The 2010 census data revealed that Black Americans are disproportionally affliced and affected by social and economic disadvantages due to a long history of societal or institutional inequittes and discrimination.
BENEFITS OF A 501 © 3	OUR GOAL
There are many benefits to establishing a 501 © 3 Corporation but one notable benefit is it greatly increases the church’s ability to secure funding and resources for these critical programs. Furthermore, the CDC operates within its own Board and By-Laws and therefore is considered to be a separate entity from the church. This separation benefits the church because it protects the church from any potential risk; liability; interference or violation of our faith, values, and financial integrity. Finally, the 501 © 3 has the potential of increasing Maple Creek’s resources, capability, and concern for sharing the love of God wherever the spirit leads.	The members and staff of Maple Creek's Family Life Center work together to carry out not only the mission of sharing Christ's love, but to help and strengthen families by offering family services such as child care, survival skills, and promote wellness. We invite you to take advantage of all that Maple Creek's Family Life Center offers. Our goal is to provide, equip and inspire individual achievement, strengthen family values, and prepare local residents (young and old) for future growth. The corporation's activities will be carried out at space donated by the church until another site is needed and affordable.
