What COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CENTRE LIMITED does

Woodland Community Development Corporation (WCDC) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization headquartered at 1500 Federal Street in Camden, New Jersey, that has delivered community social services under the Woodland Avenue Presbyterian Church umbrella since 1980. Its program portfolio covers food insecurity, education, youth development, community agriculture, and veterans support. Your Food Shelf, the anchor program, provides emergency food (with each bag sized for a family of four across three days), clothing, and household items to 1,500-4,000+ seniors, families, and children annually. Two community gardens — at 1500 Federal Street and Campbell's Field — supply fresh produce to food-shelf clients to address obesity and food-access gaps.

The educational footprint includes a College Prep Program offering SAT preparation and college admissions support (expanded county-wide in 2015 to serve students from Winslow, Lindenwold, Cherry Hill, Pennsauken, and Overbrook), an after-school enrichment program, a music appreciation program that funds scholarships to Settlement Music School and Symphony In C Summer Camp, a youth employment program, and an annual youth football camp. A Women's Military Veterans Group, launched in March 2019, supports female veterans with 20+ years of service. Operations are staffed by an 11-person team led by President and Pastor Rev. Floyd L. White, III, with a board comprising Gloria Wyatt and Nancy Anderson.

Revenue is generated entirely from tax-deductible donations, fundraising events, and corporate/foundation grants; there is no pricing model, no commercial product, no proprietary technology platform, and no mobile or web application beyond the woodlandcdc.org site and PayPal donation link. Corporate sponsors include Wells Fargo, PSEG, Comcast, Holman Automotive, Heidelberg Materials, ARI Fleet Services, and Susquehanna Bank; institutional funders include the Community Foundation of South Jersey, the Presbyterian Hunger Fund, and the Presbytery of West Jersey. Service geography is regional, limited to Camden City and Camden County, New Jersey.
