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."
At YCCA, our mission is to ensure everyone in Yolo County has access to the resources they need to build meaningful ties to their communities. We embrace and celebrate the diversity that strengthens our community, creating pathways for families to thrive through comprehensive support services. As Executive Director Jeneba Lahai observes, "At YCCA, we witness the remarkable resilience of families who, with just a little support, can transform their lives and their children's futures. The strength of our community lies in our ability to support each other."
Across Yolo County, families are doing their best to stay stable while welcoming new babies, caring for young children, and navigating rising costs. For many, one unexpected challenge can quickly become overwhelming.
ACCESS TO BASIC NEEDS. Families turn to Yolo County Children’s Alliance for practical support when they need it most. Through the West Sacramento Family Resource Center, caregivers can access food, diapers, transportation assistance, and a welcoming place to ask for help without judgment.
SAFETY FOR BABIES AND CAREGIVERS. Families enrolled in our Home Visitation program receive critical safety items such as car seats and safe sleep setups, helping ensure babies are protected and parents feel confident from the very beginning.
FOOD ON THE TABLE. When household budgets fall short, grocery gift cards help families purchase the food their families need, offering both immediate relief and dignity of choice.
FLEXIBLE SUPPORT WHEN IT MATTERS MOST. Unrestricted funding allows Yolo County Children’s Alliance to respond quickly as family needs change, whether covering urgent gaps or meeting rising demand across Yolo County.
When families receive the right support at the right time, stress eases, safety improves, and stability becomes possible. On Big Day of Giving, your generosity helps families build healthier, more secure futures.
At Yolo County Children's Alliance, equity is paramount. We recognize that systemic inequalities disproportionately affect marginalized communities. By offering services in multiple languages and collaborating with local organizations and government entities, we ensure everyone in Yolo County has access to the resources they need to build meaningful ties to their communities and each other. Together, with our generous donors and community supporters, we're working toward a future where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
