About Wilkinson Center:
Wilkinson Center is just that – a center. A starting point for pathways that lead to better things.

Or a path that puts food on the table every day. Our formula for success is case management, a compassionate staff, dedicated volunteers and effective, individualized programming that provides food, adult education and jobs. And we believe we can all get from where we are to where we want to be much sooner if we move Forward, together.
