During these past months since COVID-19 upended our community, La Luz Center has been responding as a designated “essential business” by the County of Sonoma. We remain a vital resource for those in need.  To protect you and our staff, we will be actively providing services through phone appointments and in-person by appointment only. To set up an appointment for help for you or your family, please call:  (707) 938- 5131.

Our family services program supports our families from early childhood through adulthood. The economic advancement initiative addresses our families’ desire to learn and gain new skill sets that translate to better jobs and higher salaries. Our community engagement team creates events that aim to promote community-wide participation and provide opportunities for community service and leadership.
