Our center is a safe space for any individuals seeking support in navigating life’s hurdles. WRC offers a wide range of in house resources to support our clients during our office hours. Computers and printers are available to clients and our staff is available to assist with computer literacy, online form submissions, printing, scanning and more. We also keep a stock of basic toiletries and hygiene products available to anyone in need who comes to visit our office. Our goal is to sit down with individuals who visit the center and find out what specific needs they have and how we can help so that when they leave they are on a path of positive progress and self sufficiency.

Should clients need additional assistance outside of our own programming, we have a large network of organizations we work with, to which we can make referrals. WRC partners with many outside organizations and our staff assists clients with paperwork, online forms and more to ensure that their needs are met. Our referrals cover domestic violence, financial issues, healthcare, workplace issues, senior services, housing assistance and more! Clients are encouraged to visit our office in person or call to chat with one of our staff members to see how our center can best support their needs. Often times we find that we can help with much more than the single issue that brought them in to our office. 

Needed Donations for Referrals:
Unused shampoo, conditioner, soap, razors, deodorant, lotion, toothbrushes,
toothpaste, condoms, pads, tampons, underwear, and makeup.
