How Arch Street Center makes a difference

Arch Street Center is a truly unique organization for the mental health community. Our facility is accessible and welcoming, our staff is friendly and caring, and our programs are designed to be therapeutic and fun. The Center features a spacious game room, two television rooms, and computers where members can safely access the internet. We offer both structured and spontaneous activities including crafts, games, art classes, meditation, educational programs and a monthly block cleanup project. Offsite activities include bowling, sporting events, movies, nature hikes, laser tag, and annual trips to the beach. 

Our community meals are an important element in promoting a culture of belonging. We provide midday and evening meals seven days a week. We also provide laundry and shower facilities for members who do not have them available elsewhere. Arch Street Center members have access to all of this (and more!) for a $12 annual fee. Attendance at Arch Street Center is voluntary, therefore it’s up to us to create a program that makes our members want to keep coming back.
