Mission

The Wilkinson Center cooperates with people in need who desire to create a better life, so they may reach their God-given potential and sustain themselves with dignity. The Wilkinson Center utilizes a holistic approach in combating poverty. Our programs are designed to work with the entire family, to empower them to help themselves break the cycle of poverty. The Wilkinson center's programs are two-tiered: We first address the immediate family needs through our Food Pantry and emergency services. Second tier programs begin to move families out of poverty through case management and programs designed to provide the tools and skills necessary to assist them in achieving economic self-sufficiency. The Wilkinson Center serves over 34,000 clients each year.
