The Women's Center of Wake County started over 20 years ago as a grass roots movement to meet the needs of women re-entering the community from prison. Over the course of those 25+ 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 12 years, the Center has shifted focus in response to the most critical needs of women, addressing the growing issue of homelessness for women with children and single women. The board, staff and direct service volunteers have become strong advocates and service providers for those who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless.
