DWC Leadership Council
The Leadership Council is a group of dedicated supporters committed to making a difference in the lives of women experiencing homelessness. As a member, you’ll be directly helping the Downtown Women’s Center provide critical services like housing, job training, and healthcare. Your support means we can continue to empower women to rebuild their lives. And for just $10 a month, you can be part of this positive change, ensuring that every woman has the resources she needs to thrive. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
Join us for a magical evening of community and fun under the stars on December 5th from 6-9pm! The Downtown Women’s Center (DWC) Leadership Council invites you to a spectacular twilight celebration at the Huron Substation, all in the spirit of making the holidays brighter for the participants we serve on Skid Row.
The Downtown Women’s Center provides essential services to the Skid Row community, offering a path to housing, health care, and employment opportunities for thousands of individuals annually. 100% of proceeds for this event will go directly to the Downtown Women’s Center to support the women we serve.
