Seton Center, Inc.

Mission Statement: Seton Center’s mission is to work with our neighbors to build a hopeful future in the spirit of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton through a focus on the well-being of the whole person.

 Vision Statement: To be a leading northern Frederick County, Maryland resource for emergency support services and skill development, catalyzing systemic change for a more vibrant, healthy community.

The neighbors we partner with in Northern Frederick County, Maryland live at or below the Federal Poverty Guidelines or at the A.L.I.C.E. (Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed) threshold who earn too much for public assistance, but not enough to meet their most basic needs.

We offer emergency assistance with rental, utility and medical bill payments, an adult dental program that includes health education, transportation, supportive Thanksgiving and Christmas food/gift distributions, a Community Connections program to introduce local agencies and business resources to the public and a Family Store (thrift shop) where all may find clean, high-quality clothing, household goods, small pieces of furniture, and even antiques at very low prices. All Family Store sale proceeds are used to fund our Outreach programs and services.

Seton Center also provides case management and life-skill support to provide opportunities for making life-long independence truly possible.

We believe that each person is unique and should be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of race, creed or financial status.
