Malvern Center

The Malvern Center has worked very hard to balance everyone's needs during this exhausting pandemic. We are incredibly grateful to all those who support the Center: the nine unpaid Board members, the dedicated cleaning crew, the Home Group officers, and everyone who has wiped a chair or counter/worn a mask/washed their hands/chaired a meeting/introduced themselves to a newcomer.

We are pleased to announce the return of our annual Thanksgiving buffet.

Occasionally we get an email via our web site that is worth sharing with everyone. In this case, someone contacted us to express their appreciation for someone else carrying the message to them many, many years ago. "My name is Randy H. I came through that area in the early 90's. I had a really good sponsor named Alby D. I know its an anonymous program but I'd love to see him or talk to him. Just want to let him know what he helped make happen. Thanks Randy H."... If anyone knows the parties involved here, we can pass along a message.

We are extremely grateful to each and every one of you for your support of the Malvern Center of of each other in our recovery. Stay well!!

I've taken sponsees on road trips to this place. Its history is irreplaceable. Due to COVID its future is uncertain. It needs financial assistance. https://www.wcax.com//bennington-county-birthplace-of-al/
