ABOUT
Richmond Women’s Resource Centre helps women with resources, agency referrals, links, support groups, workshops, projects, programs, and volunteering opportunities.
We are a long-standing and vibrant community network of women of all ages living in Richmond. Our goal is to provide community-based resource options to help women build connections and thrive in their community. Through a supportive environment, we encourage women to empower themselves and enhance their lives through our training programs, peer support groups and community partnerships.
The Richmond Women’s Resource Centre was formed in 1976 and became a non-profit association with Charitable Tax Status in 1989.
The location of the Centre has varied over the years – from basements, church halls, and trailers, to three different city-owned houses. In 1994, along with approximately twenty other agencies, we moved into the Caring Place.
Thank you to our generous funders:
Richmond Women’s Resource Centre acknowledges the financial support of the Province of British Columbia.
Richmond Women’s Resource Centre is supported by the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund and Richmond Community Foundation.
Thank you to the City of Richmond, Richmond Sunrise Rotary, Literacy Richmond, Health Sciences Association, Richmond Community Foundation, and all individual members and donors.
