Established in 1974, Main Street Community Center is a private non-sectarian, non-profit senior citizens services agency. It draws financial and non-financial support from participants, individuals, businesses, service contracts, community groups, and the United Way. The Center provided services to over 1,200 seniors in the project area during the calender year.  

The center is located in downtown Edwardsville at 1003 North Main Street. Its service area includes: Edwardsville, Pin Oak, Chouteau, Marine, Saline, Venice, Nameoki, Granite City, Collinsville, Jarvis, St. Jacob and Helvetia Townships (education and assistance). Transportation and meal delivery are available in Edwardsville and Glen Carbon.

Volunteers help through such activities as participant fund raising efforts, public relations, participant recruitment programs, advocacy for clients, and provision of direct service.  Most programs at the center operate with some volunteer assistance.
