The Whitin Community Center (WCC) has been dedicated to building a strong community for nearly 100 years by providing critical programming, community support, free outreach programs, and comprehensive fitness and recreational services to the Blackstone Valley.  The WCC is home to the Blackstone Valley Children’s Place, Youth Outreach, and Camp Whitin, and as a 501(c)(3) private non-profit organization, does not receive government, state or town funding. We rely heavily on fundraising events, membership and childcare payments, and donations every year to operate. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant effect on the WCC as a whole as guidelines and restrictions continue to mount new, unbudgeted expenses that are needed to operate and keep our doors open. 

In regards to the families within our community who are likewise struggling financially and in need of affordable childcare, the WCC’s Youth Outreach Rockdale Youth Center (RYC) could have the potential to provide students with a safe, healthy, as well as socially, physically, and academically connected during this ongoing pandemic. In order to accomplish this goal, we would require the increased staffing and technological funds necessary to operate the RYC from 8:00am-6:00pm Monday-Friday. Additional computers and tablets would make it possible for all students in our care, who may come from low-income backgrounds and would not otherwise have the tools at home, to complete their virtual learning that has become so prominent in this day and age.
