Women and Children's Center of the Sierra

The Women and Children’s Center of the Sierra (WACCS) provides services to support women as they work to move out of poverty and improve their lives. Our comprehensive approach includes education for adults and children, job search and preparation, a free diaper bank, domestic violence services, crisis intervention, and information and referrals for any other community service a woman may need to move forward in her life.

WACCS serves women as they work toward their individual goals on their journey out of poverty and away from public safety net programs. We counsel, educate, support, encourage, guide and otherwise empower women as they strive to transform their lives.
