With more than 50 years of service in the Hamilton Township community, the John O. Wilson Hamilton Neighborhood Center, Inc. (501(c) 3) is a resource for individuals, families, adults, youth, and seniors.

Now known as "The Wilson Center," the John O. Wilson Hamilton Neighborhood Center, Inc., was originally founded in 1967 in the basement of the Saint Phillips Baptist Church by Pastor John O. Wilson, as a childcare center. However, it was Pastor Wilson’s vision to provide more than childcare services to the community - he wanted a resource center, a place where community residents could receive services and support. In 1976, the Township of Hamilton, NJ dedicated our current location of 169 Wilfred Avenue to his cause.
Additionally, the John O. Wilson Center is the home of many community, social and civic groups including the Gateway Community Action Partnership - Early Head Start/Head Start (Gateway Head Start), Mercer County Senior Nutrition, the Golden Agers of Hamilton Township, Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and Phi Delta Kappa, Inc.
