We’ve Changed … Just a Little Bit!

In 1977, when The Centre for Women opened its doors to the community, it welcomed women who were in transition and in need of employment and supportive counseling.  Over the years, as we became aware of unaddressed community needs, we responded by adding new services – for seniors, families and girls.  All of our programs promote independence and self-sufficiency, but in different ways, depending on who needed the services we were providing.

Along the way, we realized that our current name created confusion -- and research validated this -- among those we serve and those who support our organization.

Our updated name, The Centre, reflects and preserves our deep history and good reputation in the Tampa Bay community while acknowledging our wide range of services and success in offering hope, knowledge and peace of mind to those who need us.
