The original parcel of land which became Quaker Center was donated to Friends in 1949 by Clyde and Lucile Manley. The terms of the bequest committed the land to be "perpetually dedicated and used for the enjoyment, betterment, education and welfare of mankind."

Quakers have committed themselves for over 350 years to the work of peace and equality for all.

Today, Quaker Center seeks to fulfill these two historical legacies by dedicating ourselves to provide special support to low-income community groups working for:

• Peace
• Social justice
• Race and gender equity
• Care and reclamation of the environment

This affirmative support takes the form of:

• A warm welcome and priority in booking reservations
• Additional subsidies reducing our already reasonable rates
• Deep appreciation for the work being done
• Outreach and publicity in the peace and justice community

For more information on making a reservation and to explore whether your organization might qualify for subsidized use of Quaker Center, please contact us.
