Who we are...

 

 

Brief History of CCC

1977 - A group of 8-10 women began meeting regularly in Angels Camp. These women held
          monthly potlucks and self awareness workshops as well as self help seminars all geared 
          towards women's issues.

1978 - The non-profit group " Mountain Sister's Collective" was formed and it's first project
           was a childcare resource and referral program...it didn't take off because the county
           didn't recognize them as being legitimate.

           The "Mountain Sister's Collective" then became part of the "Mountain Family Service Agency".

1979 - A 24-hour hotline was created for rape victims and battered women. A small grant allowed
          a part-time office worker to be hired. The county now recognized the program and allocated
          "Presley Funds" to the program.

1982 - The name was changed to Calaveras Women's Crisis Line. Additional funding was obtained
           and services to women were expanded to include accompaniment and peer counseling.

1983 - HRC became the parent organization.

1990 - State funding was awarded and a shelter was added to the program.

1994 - The name was changed to the HRC Calaveras Women's Crisis Center.

1997 - The county obtained a CDBG grant and the office building was built on county land.

2006 - The name was changed to the HRC Calaveras Crisis Center.
