Community Center
Sixth Street Community Center has been working to empower the Loisaida community by organizing around issues that affect the community since 1978. In 1996, we began focusing on issues concerning food, health, and the environment. In addition to community organizing, we also seek to create a fulfilling sense of community in the neighborhood by bringing neighborhood residents together around the same table.
