We are a tax exempt 501 (C) (3) community based, non-profit organization, founded in 1973 in response to the needs of women caught up in a changing society. We are staffed by paid and volunteer professionals who help women help themselves--to develop the self-confidence, skills, knowledge and experience they need make independent life decisions, to provide for themselves and their families and to become productive members of society. Consumers of our services include single parents, displaced homemakers and dislocated workers. We serve mostly low and moderate income populations through many programs and services that help women and their families move toward economic self sufficiency. Some of our services include Shared Housing for One Parent Families, Lawyer Consultations, Career Counseling, Office Technology Training, Office Support Training, Job Search, Business Counseling, Hispanic Services, English as a Second Language, educational and practical workshops in a supportive environment, and referrals to other helping organizations when appropriate.

We receive federal, state, county, local funding and depend on individual contributions to help pay for products and services not covered by grants, but necessary for the support of The Women's Center Building and it's services to the community.

and for everything else, there's Master Card - Grant money is very specific in what it will pay for. These dollars support worthy programs but do not usually provide for all the necessary overhead to administer the program. Although state grants, for example, have very specific, stringent and expensive independent auditing requirements, not enough money is available in the grant to pay for the C.P.A. and the routine bookkeeping associated with the accounting. We rely on contributions from individuals to provide the unrestricted funds that permit us to operate these grants. Please know that even programs that appear well funded, suffer from lack of unrestricted dollars. Your gift of money can alleviate the burden placed on a small organization to absorb some of these costs. Your Estimated Cost $100.00
