Douglass Community Services, Inc. is a private, not for profit human services agency based in Hannibal, Missouri, that sponsors programs such as Head Start; Court Appointed Special Advocates; Kids In Motion; Emergency Food Pantry; Monthly USDA Commodity Food; Senior Food Boxes; Emergency Utility Assistance; Foster Grandparents; and the Nifty Thrifty clothing store. Additionally, the agency’s personnel are active in advocating and intervening for families and individuals experiencing problems with day-to-day crises.
Douglass Community Services began its existence as Douglass Community Center in 1969, at the former Douglass School. Then owned by the Second Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the congregation saw a need to bring people of different races, religions, and walks of life together to form an organization that would address problems associated with prejudice and poverty in the community. Many local churches were supportive of Douglass Community Center during its beginnings, and its Articles of Incorporation reflect the early church affiliation. The organization was formed “to perform in a Christian atmosphere services contributing to the relief of the poor, the distressed and the under privileged…” A private non-profit, today, Douglass Community Services, Inc. is still recognized as a strong, well run, community-minded organization.
