What Quinn Center Of St. Eulalia does

Quinn Center of St. Eulalia is a not-for-profit 501(C)(3) community center founded in 2010 and located at 815 Lexington Street, Maywood, Illinois, operating as the primary social outreach mechanism of the Sacred Heart-St. Eulalia parish (formed by the 2020 merger of St. Eulalia Catholic Church with Sacred Heart Church). The organization serves the Proviso Township community through a portfolio of in-person programs including a Youth After School Program (~30 students per semester), a low-cost Youth Summer Program (~100 students in grades 1-8), a Teen Ambassador Program, Senior Programs (Zoom sessions with Loyola medical students plus in-person activities), a weekly Hunger Ministry combining drive-thru distributions and indoor community dinners, Family Programs, and the Drive to Succeed Scholarship Fund ($500-$1,000 awards).

The organization has no proprietary technology platform and operates with a small staff in the 11-50 range, delivering services directly at its Maywood hub and through referral and partner channels. Its revenue model is donation- and grant-based: individual and business contributions, faith-based donor support (a consortium of nine Chicago-area Catholic organizations), institutional grants (Cook County Health, Trinity Health's Transforming Communities Initiative where Quinn Center serves as lead community-based organization), signature event proceeds (including a 50/50 raffle funding the Drive to Succeed Scholarship), and nominal program fees from the low-cost summer program. Corporate sponsorships cover student registration where needed.

Quinn Center is embedded in a dense ecosystem of 30+ strategic partners spanning Loyola University Chicago (seven departments), Trinity Health, Cook County Health, Proviso Partners for Health, Real Foods Collective, school districts and libraries (West40, District 89, Maywood Public Library), faith-based hunger ministry supporters, local business sponsors (Portillo's, Raising Cane's, Culvers, and others), and community-based organizations. Executive Director Kristen Mighty, PhD, MPH, leads the organization alongside Operations Director Jesenya Amaya and Program Director LaToya Towns, with a Grants Manager and Development Manager indicating professionalized institutional fundraising capacity. The organization's mission frames its work as advancing health equity, food security, youth development, and senior wellness through relationship-based, values-driven programming.
