Mennonite Friendship Communities (MFC) is a not-for-profit corporation that has been providing a unique and rewarding lifestyle for retired seniors since 1973. Supported by local Mennonite congregations, MFC is dedicated to offering maintenance-free retirement living in a variety of residential models on their 120-acre campus in South Hutchinson, Kansas. The campus includes single-family homes, duplexes, and apartments, all designed to cater to the diverse needs of their residents.
Friendship Village, a part of MFC, offers outstanding services and amenities to its residents. The beautifully decorated commons areas create a welcoming atmosphere for communal activities such as exercise classes, ceramics, choir, woodworking, and day trips. The professional staff at MFC ensures that residents have all the support they need to enjoy a fulfilling retirement.
One of the unique offerings at MFC is Friendship Place, which provides income-eligible apartments for seniors who may not be able to find suitable housing elsewhere. These units have been highly successful and in high demand, with a long waiting list for those seeking this type of housing. The program was established in 2006 to reach a new population and has since become an integral part of MFC's mission to serve the needs of all seniors in the community.
Residents of MFC are a diverse group, each bringing their own unique background, faith traditions, and cultural practices to enrich the community life at the campus. The flexible financing options, including lease or contract options, provide residents with choices when it comes to their housing arrangements. MFC also offers building sites for those interested in new construction of single-family or duplex homes on the campus, ensuring that there is something for everyone at Mennonite Friendship Communities.
