Missouri Bootheel Regional Consortium, Inc.

Our Mission The mission of Missouri Bootheel Regional Consortium, Inc. (MBRC) is to strengthen, promote, and empower families and communities through quality programs that emphasize results.   About Missouri Bootheel Regional Consortium   MBRC is a not-for-profit (501c3) community-based organization located in the southeast corner of Missouri, an area commonly referred to as “the Bootheel” because of its shape. MBRC has been instrumental in improving the quality of family life in the region for over 10 years.    Our service area includes the counties of Dunklin, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot, and Scott, which tend to be underserved through traditional means.      In line with our mission, the core programs of MBRC provide outreach, education, training, targeted interventions, community events, and community mobilization services for mothers, fathers, children and families in the Bootheel.   Key areas addressed by MBRC are associated with health disparities among underserved communities.
