One in three people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles are women. Help me raise funds for the Downtown Women's Center this month as they continue getting women out of homelessness amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Before COVID-19, I had the pleasure of volunteering in the DWC kitchen, where the team proudly serves hundreds of meals daily. The day center also provides critical social and healthcare services to residents and unhoused women each day.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, DWC is facing higher demand for services as well as many unforeseen costs associated with sustaining and increasing services and programs.
In lieu of hosting an annual gala, DWC is launching a three-week campaign, Together Housed, to raise funds for women experiencing homelessness who are more dependent on the organization than ever before.
The Downtown Women’s Center (DWC) is the only organization in Los Angeles focused exclusively on serving and empowering women experiencing homelessness and formerly homeless women. DWC envisions a Los Angeles with every woman housed and on a path to personal stability. Founded in 1978, DWC was the first permanent supportive housing provider for women in the U.S.
