$10,000 Goal

Since 2002, Yolo County Children's Alliance (YCCA) has helped ensure everyone in Yolo County can build meaningful ties to their communities. As the county's Child Abuse Prevention Council, we serve over 6,000 families annually through our offices in Woodland, Davis, and our Family Resource Center in West Sacramento.

Every day, we see how having someone walk alongside you can help families thrive. Through Healthy Families Yolo County™, our nationally-accredited home visitation program, we support parents from pregnancy through their child's third year. One mother's story captures the impact: "My home visitor helped me overcome postpartum depression. I couldn't have done it without her encouragement." This experience reflects countless others we see in our community.

Our Family Resource Center serves as a welcoming, compassionate and safe space where all families can access essential support in their time of need. Here, our multilingual team provides services in English, Spanish, Russian, Farsi, Punjabi, and Dari, helping families connect with vital resources including housing navigation, eviction prevention, healthcare enrollment, emergency food assistance, and refugee support programs.

For families needing more intensive support, our nationally-accredited Healthy Families Yolo County™ program offers specialized early intervention. Through this program, trained home visitors work closely with parents from pregnancy through their child's third year, providing personalized guidance and support during these crucial early years. One mother's story captures the impact: "My home visitor helped me overcome postpartum depression. I couldn't have done it without her encouragement."
