The WRK Group (The Warehouse, REACH
Riverside and Kingswood Community Center)
is leading a $600 million revitalization of
the Riverside neighborhood in Northeast
Wilmington. We are replacing less than 300
units of mid-20th century public housing with
a 700-unit mixed-income community without
displacing any existing residents. In addition
to housing, The WRK Group provides direct
services including state-of-the-art teen center
The Warehouse, career development for adults and teens,
a Head Start preschool, a senior center, and economic development.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Donors may choose from giving to REACH Riverside, the “managing partner” of The WRK Group, for funds to be spent on programs and services without restriction, or to give to The Warehouse or Kingswood Community Center, The WRK Group’s “service partners.” Corporate partners have also given
