As a community-based, not-for-profit organization we rely on donations, memberships and grants to keep providing our services and programs to this community. While we encourage everyone to join the WRCSC and attend our programs, we also appreciate your help to spread the word about all we have to offer.

Thank you for supporting our mission and improving the vitality of our community!.

The Women’s Resource Center was founded in 1979 by a coalition of 19 women’s organizations, including the American Association of University Women. We have provided employment services and our flagship Challenge course to the community since our inception. In 1999, our offices grew as we merged with the Women’s Support and Enrichment Center to become The Women’s Resource Center of Sarasota County. Our consignment boutique, Encore! & more, located at 1439 Main Street in downtown Sarasota, was established in the early 90s to financially support the programs and services of the WRCSC. All proceeds generated go towards supporting our services.
