About
The Winton LL Community Center provides opportunities for community members to come together and share their resources. Winton is a small unincorporated town, but despite the lack of resources, people are coming together to "Put Winton on the map for something good". Our "Community Connectors" are staff that has come through the "Welfare to Work" program and now engage with the community to share their gifts and knowledge. Our partnerships with local government agencies provide a good platform for people to learn and grow and have access to 'next steps' on their journey. Our Center provides a number of different programs that are based on what the community desires to move forward: access to healthy food through a community garden, a food pantry and health education; mental health classes to deal with the stress of poverty; and many community-driven initiatives: ESL/SSL classes, Kid's Time, civic engagement opportunities, graffiti abatement, access to computers, training etc. Neighbors are using their gifts and abilities to make Winton a better place and create greater resilience. Every person uses their voice and has the opportunity to contribute back through various volunteer-based programs. People move from isolation and despair to helping create a town that has good things to offer. Over 700 community members have received help and over 150 volunteers have invested in their community.
