Healthy Environment Achieving Results through Teamwork.
The Willing Heart Community Care Center (WHCCC) affirms its commitment to serving the greater Newark community and beyond. The violent death of George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and countless others is a historic injustice that can no longer be tolerated. Therefore, the WHCCC is dedicated to serving the community with love, respect, and dignity creating a healthy environment for all. Moreover, our diverse volunteers and donors embrace teamwork to assist all people regardless of races, nationalities, religions, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status. With dignity, our services are provided so that each individual and family can pursue their life with the same freedoms, justice and opportunities. Together we will work to make change so that all people will experience peace, kindness, freedom and justice.
OUR VISION
Our Mission
Our Mission is to provide a space for transformative change through opportunities for our guests to acquire food, clothing, counseling, and family support.
10am -12pm
First come first served as long as supplies last.
The Willing Heart Community Care Center’s roots are based in Metropolitan Baptist Church, which has been serving Newark, NJ for over 75 years. In June of 2008, Metropolitan Baptist Church embarked upon redirecting the focus of revitalization and rebuilding lives from inside the church structure, to also encompass the citizens of Newark that live beyond the church structure. In keeping with its mission, vision, and commitment for the community, Metropolitan created The Willing Heart Community Care Center as a separate, non-profit, 501(c) (3) tax-exempt corporation to consolidate and enhance Metropolitan’s outreach efforts. The Willing Heart Community Care Center has become a beacon of hope for residents of Newark and its surrounding communities.

Hot Items at the Willing Heart!!!
Without fail each week we have people asking for soap, toothpaste, deoderant, toilet paper, razors and wipes. Many things that we use every day and take for granted that they are there when we reach for them. Help us as we help others enjoy the opportunity to reach for these items and know that they are there. Your donation is greatly appreciated.
We appreciate all the clothing donations that are so generously given. We are asking that you please hold all clothing donations until the month of May.
