MISSION STATEMENT

 

Martinez Street Women's Center (The Center) is a resource for Women in East and Southeast San Antonio, providing information and services that support the active participation of women and girls in the pursuit of their own physical, emotional, and social well-being. Our target population is women who face barriers accessing health care and education. Our programs target low-to-moderate income women of diverse cultural backgrounds.

 

HISTORY

 

The Center was founded in 1999 by a group of diverse women with the goal of creating a community center to promote women's health in East/Southeast San Antonio. Originally located in San Antonio's King William Historic District (on Martinez Street), the Center moved in the Spring of 2002 to its current eastside location on South Hackberry Street to better serve our client base.
