Friendly House, Inc.

We are a multi-service center that works with entire families both immediate and extended, as an integrating force for the families and the neighborhood(s) it serves. Friendly House operates due to an organized effort of people concerned about the development of their neighborhoods.

Friendly House was founded in 1920 “for the educational, social and family betterment of residents of the City of Worcester”. While we provide a continuum of comprehensive coordinated neighborhood basic services to inner-city families; we are not simply a set of services. We really focus on the entire family, especially those under-served and under-resourced. Friendly House service programs are organized into four major service areas; Social Services, Feeding Programs, Housing Services and Youth Programs.
