Our Story

The Whitfield Center is the community-based service initiative of the Whitefield Foundation, a 501(c)3 charitable organization launched in 2013 that focuses on education and workforce development.

Our name pays tribute to the Rev. George Whitefield.  Whitefield's inspirational Gospel message helped bring about the "Great Awakening" of the 18th Century. Whitefield began his North American ministry in Savannah where he served as Rector of Christ Church Anglican and left the lasting legacy of the Bethesda Home for Boys.
