The Wilkinson Center mission is to transform the lives of Dallas families by providing pathways to self-sufficiency with dignity and respect. We fulfill that mission by helping families face critical life challenges including food insecurity, lack of education, economic instability, unemployment and underemployment. Our formula for success is case management, compassionate staff, dedicated volunteers and effective individualized programming. All of our programs are provided free of charge.

A recent study found that 41% of parents are worried about feeding their kids over summer break with many forgoing their own meals to compensate. Wilkinson Center’s Stock Up For Summer fundraiser aims to eliminate that meal gap for more than 4,000 local children and their parents. With just two weeks left of our campaign, now is the perfect time to help us combat summer hunger.

Local auto insurance veterans, AssuranceAmerica, generously took the time to volunteer at our annual Carlin Morris Shoe Drive. These dedicated volunteers helped 300 children find their favorite pair of shoes for the upcoming school year. Along with volunteering at the shoe drive, AssuranceAmerica sponsored our Stock Up For Summer Campaign and donated 72 pounds of food to our Food Pantry! We couldn’t be more grateful for their partnership! #AssuranceAmerica #CarlinMorrisShoeDrive #schoolshoedrive #localbusinesslove #childreninneed #corporatevolunteers
Hikmatullah Abed is an Afghan Refugee who earned his Bachelor’s of Medicine and Surgery back home and was working toward his Master’s in Public Health. When he started a new life in the US, he was forced to restart his education because his credentials were no longer recognized. To compensate, Hikmatullah worked full-time night shifts to care for his wife and three children while working to obtain his US Medical License. Thanks to Wilkinson Center’s incredible partnership with Resource One Credit Union, Hikmatullah received a scholarship to continue his education. He plans to use the money to pay for his exam fees, preparatory training courses, and textbooks. We are so proud of Hikmatullah and wish him the best on his journey!
Being active and engaged improves focus, mood, and energy for seniors. It’s also fun and what could be more fun than the theater? As part of our Spring Event season, we took our senior clients out to the AT&T Performing Arts Center to see Annie and Chicago. The sun will certainly come out tomorrow but those shining happy faces could give it a run for its money!
