Midway Outreach Community

Home

Our vision:

Through the provision of gifted land, Midway Outreach Community Organization is striving to centralize agencies that address key community needs. With the ability to facilitate up to eleven non-profit organizations in our Heart of the Valley location, MOCA can help them deliver their services with more impact.

Mission Statement: Inspired by the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Midway Outreach Community provides an integrated campus for independent human service organizations to provide for the essential human needs in our community.

Our history:

The Midway Outreach Community was established in 1996 when a private family foundation purchased 15 acres of land adjacent to Midway Road with the purpose of creating a campus of services for those in need. Upon completion of the first building, parking lot and infrastructure, the St. Joseph Food Program and the Community Clothes Closet became the first tenants of the campus. In addition to giving back to human needs, the Midway Outreach Community gave back to the earth as the undeveloped areas on campus were seeded to prairie plants. Today, Midway is the home to a beautiful five acre prairie restoration.

In 2000, plans began for LEAVEN to join the campus; making food, clothing, and shelter available from Midway. As site plans were created for LEAVEN it became apparent that future development would be inefficient without a change in the ownership/governance of the land. In June of 2002, the foundation transferred the land into a Condominium Association where the land is held for eight more non-profits to build on the campus, making a total of eleven units that comprise the Midway Outreach Community Condominium Association, Inc.

As the campus continues to develop, it is the desire of the Association to continue giving back to human need, spiritual need, and environmental need. Though parts of the prairie will be built upon, native landscaping will be established throughout the campus and used for both environmental and educational purposes. In the spirit of community, the Midway Outreach Community desires to be a holistic outreach and to improve the lives of individuals and families in the Greater Fox Valley.
