History

Wilson Area Children's Foundation, formerly Wilson Area Housing Foundation, was created in 2000 by Sonia and Louis Rosenberg. They saw a need for safe housing in the community after helping a family who did not have a home. They built that family a home, along with the collaborated help of a few dear friends, and thus an idea was formed.

As time passed, more friends offered to help as well, so the Foundation's Board of Directors grew in numbers throughout the years. The Foundation has also been blessed with many volunteers offering their time and services during fundraisers, food and clothing distribution events, and other Foundation programs for the community.

Since then, the foundation has focused on helping the children of the community, and in 2017, they changed their foundation to benefit the children of the community.

WACF program objectives are to improve the life and welfare of school children in the Wilson County area, emphasizing education through trade and/or junior colleges that invest in students and families residing in Wilson County.
