Wilmot & Wellesley Resource Centre (WWRC) is a non-profit charity that started in 1980. For over 40 years, WWRC has been the leading provider of social support services to low-income and food-insecure families and individuals in Wilmot and Wellesley Townships. We understand the needs of our community because we live in and actively contribute to the community we serve! As well, we know it can be challenging for people living in rural areas to get the help they need, and we’re here to support them.
