About Community Resource Centre of NW and CW

Everyone deserves warmth, safety and belonging. The Community Resource Centre of North and Centre Wellington walks beside individuals and families across rural Wellington County from Centre Wellington to Wellington North, Minto, and Mapleton helping neighbours facing hurt, hunger and homelessness.

Read More

In Wellington County, 5.4% of people are in core housing need, and 16.3% live in housing deemed unacceptable, and nearly 40% of renters are spending more than 30% of their income on housing. Nearly 1 in 4 households face food insecurity.

Through our Community Outreach and Support Services, we meet people where they are: offering advocacy, housing support, and crisis diversion before things escalate. Our Emergency Food Security and Summer Snax programs help fill empty cupboards, while programs like our Winter Wear Program bring comfort, dignity, and inclusion to families under financial strain.

Walk with us in the Coldest Night of the Year to warm hearts, fight hunger, and give hope. Together, we can help everyone take steps toward home.
