Supporting Women & Children Since 1981

Mother's love all the way
Located in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood, The Bay Area Women’s and Children’s Center (BAWCC) stands as a beacon of support and empowerment for low-income families, children, and women. Since its establishment in 1981, BAWCC has been dedicated to addressing the multifaceted needs of this diverse inner-city community.

We provide a plethora of services between the two branches of our organization. Our women's center, located at 318 Leavenworth St. provides tutoring, clothing, food, and other resources for women with children.

Likewise, BAWCC is responsible for funding and building The Tenderloin Community Elementary School located at 627 Turk St. Today, we still hold steadfast to our commitment of providing supplemental services and care to teachers, students, and parents.
