A living wage. Early childhood education. Career options. Equal opportunity. Safe homes, free from abuse. Inspiration, passion, and education. Self-determination. Options. Family stability. Economic security. Nonviolence.

These are things that many of us take for granted. 

But situated between affluent neighborhoods and a thriving downtown, there's another story — one of poverty, violence, and unrest; of decades-old inequality and lack of opportunity, where residents are marginalized, overlooked, and worried. There's also history, community, loyalty, and love — for neighbors, for families, and for the place that is home to generations of African Americans — and this is the story of North Minneapolis. 

Phyllis Wheatley Community Center has been here for nearly 100 years, working to make neighborhoods stronger, foster community, and provide our neighbors those things they need most — whether it's childcare, career training skills, healthcare, youth diversion and enrichment, or programs that exist to stop violence, PWCC evolves along with the changing needs of our neighbors, adapting and transforming our services to offer relevant opportunities that lift people up and give them self-sufficiency, hope, peace, and prosperity.

We cannot do the work we do without the help of people who care, get involved, and give. You are the reason we can change lives and bring health, hope, and happiness to our community. 

Donate today, and help us change the trajectory for tomorrow.
