Mission Statement
The Machen Center is a non-profit organization, named after Ms. Doris Machen, a fearless warrior for humanity, dedicated to supporting the transformation of underserved, at-risk youth, young adults, and families in their personal journeys for stable, productive, and happy lives.
About This Cause
The Center is named after Ms. Machen, an award-winning community activist whose fundamental belief is that every individual needs unconditional love and support in order to succeed in life. Following this belief, Ms Machen and her daughters, Barbara and Marguerite, organized the center to address the specific needs of underserved people in San Francisco, particularly in the OMI. The Machen Center is a small, unique, grassroots organization benefitting the community by methodically addressing the problems and needs of its individuals. We do this through a holistic approach to individual problem solving. Our volunteers know their clients’ individual situations and provide services tailored to their unique needs. This personal and comprehensive approach fosters trust and respect. The types of services provided by the Machen Center are as varied as the clients we serve.
