ORIGIN OF THE MCGUFFEY CENTRE
Mrs. Charles Welcher
In 1926, on Youngstown’s East Side, a woman named Birdie Welcher saw a need in the community. In 1961, it grew into what we know today as the McGuffey Centre on Jacobs Road. Associated Neighborhood Center is achieving more with our initiatives than ever before. We work on many exciting projects to help improve the lives of others, and are very proud of the progress we continue to make.
