WFRC Update

For those who have been out to our facility lately, you may have noticed all of the construction and wondered, "What's going on?" The Wickliffe Family Resource Center is in the process of moving to our new building, the Wickliffe Campus, which will house Wickliffe City School District students in grades PK-12.


Our last day in the old building (Wickliffe High School) was May 12, 2023. At this time, all of our WicKloset clothing, food, and toiletry inventory is packed, and we are moved out of our old space. Our building will soon be demolished to pave the way for a parking lot for the new Wickliffe Campus, which is being built on the property directly behind Wickliffe High School.


We will likely gain access to our new space in the Wickliffe Campus around mid-July. We are so looking forward to serving clients again as soon as we get settled into our new space. We are also so excited for the expansion of services, programming, and events, that our new space will allow!


In the meantime, the best way to stay engaged with us is through our monthly e-newsletter, website, and social media accounts! We will continue to keep everyone updated on WFRC news and services. Thank you for your support and patience during this transition.

Sharing is Caring! WFRC Gives Back

Lots of moving and packing going on at the WFRC lately! We are gearing up for our big move to the new Wickliffe Campus.


In preparation, we have done lots of donating and sharing of our clothing inventory to make way for new donations once we open up again.


We were happy and proud to be able to share with our partners for their programs and upcoming events: Project Prom, Hope Delivered, and the Back to School Bash at Painesville City Local Schools!

Birthright Family Fun Pop-Up Event at the WFRC

It was a pleasure to host Birthright's Family Fun Pop-Up event this on 4/22, with members of the Signature Class of Leadership Lake County, Inc. and Birthright Lake, Inc. Mentor, OH!


Fun was had by all who attended! The event included clients learning about Birthright’s services, free clothing, free food and snacks, a fun craft, a bouncy house, free books, and more!

Community Resource Fair

The WFRC had a great time spreading the word about all of the great services that we offer the community on 4/21, at the Community Resource Fair that was presented by Michael Zuren, Lake County Treasurer! Thank you for having us!
