In honor of Black History Month, we are proud to spotlight one of our valued partners, Martin Luther King Jr. Family Services in Springfield.
Rooted in Dr. King’s vision of the Beloved Community, MLK Jr. Family Services is doing powerful, life changing work every day. From providing dignified access to food, to empowering youth through mentorship, to supporting families through moments of crisis, their impact reaches across generations and throughout the community.
These are not just programs. They are pathways to stability, leadership, and opportunity, woven together by a deep commitment to justice, connection, and collective care.
Last year alone, their impact included:
• 64 scholars preparing for college and beyond
• 357 families supported
• 507 youth empowered
• 16,600 neighbors nourished
• 1 million pounds of food distributed
At Vitra Health, we are honored to partner with organizations like MLK Jr. Family Services who are reclaiming the dream through action and ensuring families in and around Springfield have the support they deserve.
Together, we care for the community!
