I have been going through one of the most difficult and overwhelming times in my life, and this center and the staff have truly helped me more than anyone and anything. I am deeply grateful for this place.

When I first arrived in Santa Cruz, I needed to have my annual female checkup. I didn't have any doctors yet so I went to the center and was seen by a nurse practitioner. They were so nice and friendly. I would recommend the center to any woman needing help.

Called for information, the woman I spoke with was in no way helpful and didn't seem genuine about finding us help. After speaking with someone else in the background (about other obligations) she asked to put me on hold . Don't know much about this facility but their customer service is horrible.

Questions & Answers

Can clothing donations be made here

Sumati B | Sep 7, 2018

We accept washed used, & new clothing on Mondays and Tuesdays between 10 am and 4 pm. It is always good to call the office first because we have a very small space and sometimes the donation room fills up quickly and we have to start turning people away. We accept clothing and gently used household items. We also love getting donations of diapers, nonperishable (and not expired) foods, personal care items (i.e. shampoo, conditioner, etc.)- hotel size mini shampoos are great!!! Thanks for thinking of us!

Do you take food donations?

Hello! Thank you for thinking of us! We take food donations that are not expired. It is always best to call the front desk at 831-426-3062 to talk to someone about what you have. That way we can save you a trip if it is something we will not be able to accept for any reason. Thanks again, Julie

I have a lot of fabric pieces. Is there a place that can donate them to, perhaps to help women who are learning to sew?

Great question! I am not aware of this. Thank you for your generosity.

I have some used items that work perfectly well. I have an iron, a tea kettle, a tv (31 inches) and a hairdryer. could anyone use them, perhaps to set up a household?

Thank you very much for thinking of us. You can always call our front desk 831-426-3062 to ask if we have any current program participant in need of your items. But more generally, we no longer accept donations of used items. Because of the pandemic, we had to close our donation room. So we no longer have the space or the volunteers to sort and organize the donations. With gratitude, Julie (Executive Director)

We help to fill out domestic violence restraining orders, but not civil restraining orders. We have walk-in hours throughout the week, but it is easiest if you call the office and make an appointment. The office closes for two weeks in December for the Holidays. If you are in need during our closure time, please call our hotline- 1-866-269-2559
