In order to support our programs and services, Dumas Wesley Community Center relies heavily on funds from individuals, companies, and foundations. We’re grateful to you for giving your time to help us meet critical needs in our community.
The mission of the Dumas Wesley Community Center (DWCC) of Mobile, Alabama, is to educate, empower, and enrich vulnerable individuals and families through interconnected programs that address immediate needs while fostering self-sufficiency and generational stability.
The Dumas Wesley Community Center was founded in 1903 by the United Women in Faith and has been serving the community for over a century. Dumas Wesley was originally tasked with providing childcare to the disadvantaged families working in the cotton mills of Crichton, Alabama. Today, Dumas Wesley offers over a dozen programs and services for the working poor and the homeless.
DWCC is a neighborhood based non-profit organization located in the Crichton community. The majority of households in Crichton are headed by single mothers with an average family income of less than $25,000 annually. 99% of the clients served directly by DWCC are low-income and approximately 95% are minority.
In 2025, the Dumas Wesley Community Center deployed 77,129 direct services to our neighbors in need.
