The Women and Children’s Center of the Sierra (WACCS) provides education, job training, resources and support to help women escape or avoid poverty and provide a better life for their families.   Our goal is to empower women affected by poverty to become contributing members of the community by offering a transition from public assistance to paid employment. 
We operate three distinct programs to help our clients:
  • Our Diaper Bank provides diapers for babies living in poverty-affected households for a nominal fee.  This program is available to women needing emergency diaper assistance and requires enrollment in our program in order to receive longer-term diaper assistance.
  • Women who need help becoming gainfully employed and self-sufficient can enroll in our Client Success Program.  This program involves personalized case management, including coordination of services and referrals.  Our Life & Employability Skills training is also an essential part of what we do.
