The Women's Building is the only place in San Francisco that offers both the physical and emotional space for women, regardless of age, sexuality, race, or class, to build their own community. The Community Resource Room embodies this commitment and provides women with comprehensive access to information, resources, and services that can help them achieve their goals.

Through focus groups in which we gathered information and input from the community users of TWB, we created a framework for a Drop-in Childcare Center. We fleshed that framework out into a reality, recognizing that affordable childcare services in our area are dwindling just as fast as the number of children living in low-income homes is rising. This issue directly affects the majority of the constituents of TWB, and therefore is a top priority in our programming and services.

Collaboration and coalition-building is key to the survival and success of social service agencies. Due to the lack of funds, unfulfilled staffing needs, and uphill struggle to enact change, it is important to join together and assist peer organizations, especially those that are just getting on their feet. Over the years, The Women's Building has sponsored several agencies that are thriving in the Bay Area today, including La Casa des las Madres, LYRIC, and The Women's Foundation. Find out more about the organizations working under the TWB umbrella, growing their wings before taking off on their own.
