How the Money Is Spent
The Women’s Cancer Resource Center has served as an advocate for women with cancer and their friends and families since 1986. In the last 22 years, thousands of women have benefited from the services offered through the Center. WCRC has a breadth and depth of personalized services, resources and information that support the local community, including information on comprehensive complementary and alternative treatments for cancer. With information and support services, WCRC supports a women’s right to make her own informed decisions and also advocates on behalf of those women to the medical establishment. The services remain free of charge and continue to be culturally and linguistically accessible. WCRC focuses on serving women of color and women from low-income communities – as well as lesbian, bisexual, transgender and older women – because they are traditionally underserved.
