Welcome to Marillac House!

Since 1914, Marillac Social Center (Marillac House) has been serving the needs of the working poor of Chicago’s west side community. Sponsored by the Daughters of Charity, Marillac House provides much-needed programs and services in the areas of child care, social services, outreach to the homeless and services for the elderly.

• Child Care: Marillac provides care for over 350 kids, ranging in age from 15 months to 13 years. From early childhood education to after-school programs and summer camp as well as mentoring and tutoring programs, the Center provides quality NAEYC accredited education and child care.

• Services for the elderly: Marillac House provides outreach, assistance and case management for more than 100 homebound Chicagoans as well as programs for active Seniors at the Center.

• Social and Family Services: The Center offers assistance to those in need through a food pantry, programs that offer assistance with utilities, and counseling and case management services for thousands of low income clients as well as those on the verge of becoming homeless each year.

• Project Hope and Hope Jr.: Marillac's nationally recognized Project Hope program provides comprehensive support and services for teen moms. A successful academic, social and pregnancy-prevention program, Hope Jr. provides mentoring and tutoring after school and throughout the summer program to boys and girls ages 7 -17.

In these programs, and in all that it does, Marillac House carries out its services and programs in the Vincentian tradition of compassionate charism, while serving the community with dignity and respect.

Whether you are seeking childcare or are interested in volunteering, or making a donation to our social-service agency, we invite you to become a part of the Marillac House Family.
