About Us
Wichita Center for Family & Community
For 100 years, Wichita Elementary School was a resource for our community, educating and helping generations of children. Now, that legacy lives on at the Wichita Center for Family & Community. Established in fall 2009 by North Clackamas School District.
Our mission
-
To create a safe, healthy, and strong community by providing services and programs for each child and their family.
-
To help eliminate barriers by creating an environment of equity and inclusiveness for each child to strive in their formal education.
-
To educate and reinforce that it takes a whole community to raise a healthy child.
Summer 2025 Update
Dear Valued Community Members,
We want to inform you about a temporary change in the location of Wichita Center services this summer. To ensure our facility's continued safety and security, we will be conducting necessary renovations, including roof repairs and security system installations.
During the Summer Period:
- Essential Wichita Center services, including the food pantry, will continue with minimal interruption.
- The clothing closet will be closed for the summer months but will reopen again at the Wichita Center at the end of the summer.
- Backpacks and school supplies will be made available in August. More information regarding this program will be announced at a later date.
- Services will be temporarily relocated to Linwood & Sojourner School.
- The same staff and programs will be available at the temporary location.
- All contact numbers and email addresses will remain the same.
