About North County NeighborAid (formerly Womenade) is a coalition of human service agencies, faith communities, and big-hearted people giving direct care to our neighbors in critical need. Under the pressure of crises, families in our region fall through the cracks every day. This community based collaborative responds to those emergencies and brings our community closer together.
We take requests for goods and cash assistance of all kinds from helping professionals. Social workers, teachers, and clergy then deliver these gifts to their clients, students, and community members. We do not judge anyone; we trust the professionals serving those in their care.
Our predecessor, SLOWomenade founded by Sandy Richardson, concluded operations and continues to consult our growing work. Today our committed coalition carries on her crucial work as a program housed at Center for Family Strengthening a nonprofit dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect through education, advocacy, and community partnerships. Center for Family Strengthening ensures strong families are a priority in San Luis Obispo County.
