Empowering women to rise out of poverty
Since 2008, the Women and Children’s Center of the Sierra (WACCS) has worked to support women as they work to escape poverty and improve their lives and the lives of their children. We work with each woman as she walks her path striving to fulfill her goals and dreams.
WACCS offers a wide variety of client-advised services. These include educational and life skills classes; a diaper bank which distributes between 9,000 – 11,000 diapers monthly; basic needs provision including food, hygiene, and cleaning supplies; an open computer lab; goal setting and job search help; domestic violence assistance; information and referral services; and so much more. Services are tailored to individual clients’ needs, and open to women living at 185% of poverty or less. All services are free.
