A Letter from Our Founder and President
Welcome friends!
We have adopted and put into action the words from Philippians 4:13, which states, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Through this faith and strength, Memorial CDC has accomplished the following.
- Build single family homes and apartments;
- Employ youth and young adults;
- Develop a Subway Restaurant;
- Open a medical clinic;
- Extend financial literacy and micro-loans;
- Provide assistance to homeowners through an emergency repair program; and
- Grow urban gardens.
Over the years, Memorial CDC and the community have experienced trials, tribulations and triumphs. But, Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” We have accomplished much through strong supporters and partnerships.
Thank you for your continued support!
Rev. Dr. Adrian M. Brooks Sr.
