The Women's Resource Center of Tampa provides individualized services to families, single parents, individuals, elderly, disabled, veterans and the homeless.
Since 2003, the Women’s Resource Center of Tampa has been a faith based, not for profit organization dedicated to providing services that encourage, support and assist individuals and families to meet their basic needs. Founded by a group of women who themselves had overcome personal struggles, the Women’s Resource Center is a place where individuals and families in crisis find respect, hope and the support they need to change their lives. We change lives and restore hope by working one on one with each individual to identify and address their needs for emergency food, clothes, housing, employment, transportation, training and access to available resources. Once the family is stable, the Women’s Resource Center of Tampa continues as a supporting coach assisting the family to develop and achieve their long term goals.
 In 2010, with the help of our donors, community partners and volunteers, the Women’s Resource Center of Tampa reached out to over 7000 individuals in our community. We provided emergency food to over 1800 families, assisted 820 families to complete the paperwork for Medicaid and Food Stamps and provided over 480 families with clothes.
Over $30,000 in emergency financial assistance was provided for food cards, bus passes, car repairs, utilities or rent. We also assisted families in filing for disability benefits and provided donated vehicles to single parent mothers. Training classes were provided to assist in developing life skills like budgeting, child support enforcement and other legal issues, employment assistance and cooking on a budget.
