The Great Give - May 6th & 7th
The WCC is participating in the Great Give! Support us today by donating and sharing the information for this 36 hour online giving event. This is your opportunity to show your support for the WCC and other nonprofits in your community.
Some places are just buildings. Whitneyville Cultural Commons is something more.
Nestled in the heart of the Whitneyville neighborhood, in the historic United Church of Christ property, we have become the place where the Greater New Haven community comes to mark the moments that matter most — the ones you carry with you forever.
In 2025 alone, 47 families celebrated baby showers within our walls. And many are already coming back this year to throw a first birthday party for the child they had anticipated in that same room. 68 birthday parties. 8 graduation celebrations. Weddings. Quinceañeras. And repasses and celebrations of life, families leaning on one another in their most tender moments of grief, finding comfort and solace in a space that feels worthy of honoring those we have lost.
We are there for all of it. The joy and the sorrow. The beginnings and the goodbyes. Our families don't just rent a space — they come home. They return to us through every milestone that shapes a life, because they know they'll be met with warmth, care, and a place that feels equal to the occasion.
This Great Give, we're asking you to invest in that trust. Your donation helps us maintain this cherished historic space so that every family — no matter their circumstances — has somewhere beautiful to come together for life's biggest moments: the ones filled with laughter, the ones filled with tears, and everything in between.
Give today. Help a family make a memory — and help another family find comfort when they need it most.
Thank you for your support! The WCC Team
