Marie Wilkinson Child Development Center
Clothing Bank Program
Strengthening the community is what we do by generously giving and helping low-income families overcome difficult and challenging life circumstances. Our Clothing Bank Program provides charitable donations to individuals and families who are living below the federal poverty level. The primary focus of this program is to alleviate financial and economic stress by 1) promoting the dignity and worth of every person; 2) providing social support to needy families, and 3) providing a professional platform for vulnerable individuals to fight back and overcome socioeconomic constraints.
This program furthermore assesses and evaluates each person's annual household income, current job occupation, and provides community-based referrals for such individuals to strategically overcome financial calamities. Information packets and educational awareness offered through this program enable low-income individuals and families to maximize their welfare benefits, and to seek avenues upon which to elevate themselves above the federal poverty level.
