Women's Center Of Wake County, Inc.

The Women’s Center of Wake County (WCWC) was incorporated in 1978. The Women’s Center of Wake County, Inc. started as a grass roots movement to meet the needs of women re-entering the community from prison. Over the course of 40 years, the Center has responded to the changing needs of women, expanding and providing services as indicated by the women in our community. Over the last eighteen years, the Center has shifted course, addressing the growing issue of poverty and homelessness with single women and women with children. We have strong collaborative partnerships with agencies throughout the community including Healing Transitions, Urban Ministries, Interact, Raleigh Rescue Mission, Salvation Army, Passage Home, and Wake County Human Services. Over the forty years, the Women’s Center has served tens of thousands of women. Last year we served more than 1,000 women and children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Our current programs are Basic Needs, Supportive Services and Housing Services.
