The broader facility includes a NAMIC wellness center with an indoor track, handicap accessible family locker rooms, a Fitness Center, group exercise classes, an indoor pool, and teen programs that operate alongside youth programs. The organization’s history includes its founding in 1887, a charter obtained in 1888, construction of its first building in 1892, and expansion of services over the years, including service extended to girls and women in 1931 and expansion plans completed in early 2006.

Through its Annual Campaign, the organization states that no one is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.
