The Molly Bish Center at Anna Maria College

Anna Maria College announced that the Molly Bish Center for the Protection of Children and the Elderly will conclude its work in June 2025.

Established in 2004 by the Bish Family in partnership with Anna Maria College, the Center was created in memory of Molly Ann Bish and has served as a resource for Massachusetts communities. Throughout its 21 years of operation, the Center directly impacted nearly 15,000 residents and hundreds of organizations through educational programs, training events, and safety initiatives.

The work culminated in 2024 when the Center and Anna Maria College established the “Garden of Hope” on the Anna Maria campus. The Garden of Hope is a peaceful space where visitors can honor victims of violent crime and missing persons.
