BUILDING A STRONGER LEGACY TOGETHER.
At St. Luke Legacy Center, we're on a mission to ignite lasting change in underserved communities across Greater Richmond. Offering holistic support for all ages and backgrounds, our vision is to create a tailored sanctuary that addresses cultural challenges and enhances the quality of life for generations to come.
Our Legacy Starts Here:
Protect In Peace.
At St. Luke Legacy Center, our legacy is written in the resilience of our youth, the strength of our families, and the safety of our communities. With young African American males aged 15-34 accounting for 46% of all homicide fatalities in Virginia, the need for action has never been greater.
The Protect in Peace (P.I.P.) Initiative is more than a program—it’s a movement to equip Virginia with the tools to rise above violence and foster generational change. Every step we take today shapes the legacy we leave tomorrow.
