Wilkinson Center

The Wilkinson Center provides pathways to self-sufficiency. Along with basic needs like food, the Wilkinson Center provides adult education for parents and an academically-centered after-school program for children and an annual shoe drive for back to school. Together, these programs give families the tools needed to forever escape poverty. They are an Emergency Service model which means that an unexpected emergency must have occurred that caused an individual to fall behind in the current month.
