BAWCC

Supporting Women & Children Since 1981

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.

BAWCC has proudly served the community for over 4 decades. Starting with our Women’s Center at 318 Leavenworth Street, BAWCC offered support services including tutoring, clothing, food, and other resources for hundreds of women with children. Although we no longer occupy this location, we remain dedicated to supporting the neighborhood with our wide range of services.

Currently, BAWCC is dedicated to our literacy program and advocacy support at the Tenderloin Community School. BAWCC played a pivotal role in funding and building The Tenderloin Community Elementary School at 627 Turk Street in San Francisco. Today, we continue our unwavering commitment to providing supplemental care and resources to teachers, students, and parents alike.

Signature Programs

The Tenderloin Connections Program builds community through monthly Bay Area adventures, fostering connections between women and their children.

During the holidays, the Angel Child Program at BAWCC provides gifts to families, thanks to our generous donors for over 30 years.

The annual event unites the Tenderloin community to improve the school environment through activities, fostering relationships and a commitment to well-being.

What We Offer at TCS

More than two decades after building TCS, BAWCC is still invested daily in its growth and development. Today we provide a variety of services within the school and hold a tight partnership with the school district to ensure students get the services they need.

The Center

BAWCC’s resource women’s center underwent a complete remodeling and was situated in the heart of the Tenderloin in San Francisco. It functioned as a secure and supportive environment where women with children could access a wide array of services and resources for their families.
