PROGRAMS:

Breaking the poverty cycle requires more than meeting basic needs.  As one of the largest comprehensive poverty prevention agencies in Dallas, the Wilkinson Center utilizes a holistic approach designed to empower individuals and families to find a “pathway to self-sufficiency” with dignity and respect.

By focusing on education and career development, we provide the tools and skills necessary to achieve sustainable economic independence. Once immediate needs are met through our food assistance and social services programs, Case Management combines financial assistance with child and adult education to create a tailored road map for each unique circumstance.
