GEORGE MARSTON WHITIN MEMORIAL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION INC
Mission Statement
For over ninety years, the Whitin Community Center trustees, corporators, staff, members, donors, and volunteers have been steadily building community in the Blackstone Valley by providing comprehensive fitness and recreational programming, outreach programs, and community support. The Whitin Community Center is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. Enthusiastically embraced by the public since 1922, the Whitin Community Center (aka George Marston Whitin Memorial Community Association, Inc.) is indeed a local treasure for families, youth, young adults, and seniors alike. The WCC remains the most comprehensive fitness and recreational facility for all ages, fitness levels, and socio-economic backgrounds in the Blackstone Valley. An active participant in the community, the Whitin Community Center established and operates a youth outreach program, provides community support to local and regional organizations, and supports many annual community events. These programs and efforts to benefit our community are funded entirely by donations. The Whitin Community Center does not receive financial support from the town, state or federal levels.
