Founded by a group of community leaders in 1974 with a goal to meet youth and family needs in Claymont. Over the years, the scope of services has expanded to include the broader concept of community, serving the physical, emotional, educational, recreational, and cultural needs of local residents. We are pleased to serve residents from Claymont as well as Wilmington and the surrounding areas in Ne

- Food Closet

We are also home to a variety of other agencies that provide services to our community across the lifespan.
