Malone also gave generously of her time in the community. She was
president of the  Colored Women's Federated Clubs of St. Louis, an
executive committee member of the National Negro Business League
and the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, an honorary member
of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, a member of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church, and a lifelong Republican.

On September 29, 1927, terrible floods destroyed much of the Mississippi
River Valley.  Several hundred people drowned and 600,000 were left
homeless.  Then a tornado tore through heavily populated parts of North
St. Louis. Poro College was very much involved during the aftermath where 
thousands were sheltered, clothed and fed.  Much of Malone's charity work 
turned to helping the flood and tornado victims.  Poro College served as a 
principal relief unit for the American Red Cross serving as many as 5,000 
people over a five day period.
