HISTORY 

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.

How can I protect myself from COVID - 19/Nove Coronavirus?

Take steps to protect yourself:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care. Learn what to do if you are sick.
• Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.

The Willing Heart is Open!!!

During the  COVID - 19

crisis the WH will be open for FOOD PANTRY on Tuesdays 10am -12pm.

The community can come and get grocery's each Tuesday during this crisis.  We are working hard to keep the line moving and having people keep the social distancing guideline.  We would appreciate your cooperation and follow the direction of our security when you come.  We want to help as many families as possible during this time and if we all work together we will be able to do so.

The WHCCC and World Central Kitchen have partnered to provide meals to the community.  We will have    Meals - To - Go every Tuesday and Thursday 1pm-3pm until further notice.  Thank you Chef Jose Andres and World Central Kitchen!!!

God Bless you.  Stay Safe.

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.
