WLVC’s Community Involvement
WLVC actively engages with organizations that support and empower women and girls throughout Ventura County. Our community involvement has included work with nonprofits such as Girls Inc., Sarah’s House Maternity Home, Many Mansions, and others.
The network of local Girls Inc. nonprofit organizations serves girls ages 6-18 at more than 1,400 sites in 400 cities across the United States and Canada. Their research-based programming focuses on the development of the whole girl, supporting, mentoring, and guiding girls in an affirming, pro-girl environment.
Girls, Inc.
Board members participated in painting bowls to support Many Mansions’ “Bowls of Hope” fundraiser, inspired by the soup kitchens that offered nourishment, warmth, and essential support to those in need. Many Mansions’ Bowls of Hope event is a chance to learn about their affordable housing and supportive services in the community and to engage in their mission. The event offers a hearty blend of great food, including a variety of gourmet soups and salads, hands-on learning, and a sense of belonging—all in support of safe, stable homes for those who need them most.
Many Mansions
Sarah’s House serves unhoused expectant and single mothers, providing housing, support, encouragement and a path toward independence. Through its two homes, the program offers stability, compassion, and essential resources for women and their children.
Their comprehensive services include case management, counseling, prenatal care, educational programming, and life-skills training, all designed to break cycles of homelessness and abuse and empower families to thrive.
