We are proud and honored to announced that 2018 marked Magdala Foundation’s 50th year of service to the greater St. Louis community.
In 1968, we began our work by opening the first halfway house for women recently released from U.S. prisons. With the faith of our community, we expanded our operations to serve individuals with drug and/or alcohol addictions, mental health issues, parent/child training programs, crisis intervention services in conjunction with SLPD, and others.
Believing in our commitment to mankind, Magdala opened five residential facilities for the intellectually and/or developmentally disabled. Servicing the intellectually and/or developmentally disabled adults is our current focus. We are dedicated to help these individuals live a productive life by providing a safe, loving environment.
Although our current services are exclusive to developmentally disabled adults, homeless persons, and drug counseling services, Magdala is developing additional services desperately needed in the St. Louis community.
We are humbled by the support of the St. Louis community. It is your faith and strength that drives us to continue our mission. The travels of this road can often be a daunting task, but Magdala is called to making lives better and truly be our brother’s keeper.
Thank you, St. Louis, for 50 years of service!
