About Women’s Civic Improvement Club
For over 74 years, the Women’s Civic Improvement Club of Sacramento, Inc. (WCIC), has provided programs, services and activities geared toward meeting the needs of Sacramento’s low-income communities. WCIC was formally organized in 1936 and incorporated in 1945. WCIC’s program emphasis has and continues to be directed toward the development of responsible citizens through community participation. Shortly after World War I (1924), a few dedicated African American women decided to confront the desperate need for housing for minority women in the City of Sacramento. At that time, because of racial segregation, housing opportunities for minority women were confined to the local “red light” district. The group began to provide housing and employment assistance to African American women and other minority women.
