The Women's Cancer Resource Center is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Berkeley, California, focused on improving equitable access to cancer information, support, and care. It serves people with any type of cancer, with particular emphasis on low-income individuals, people of color, and members of the queer and trans communities. The organization notes that barriers beyond treatment—such as limited primary care, financial constraints, language and cultural gaps, racism, low health literacy, fear, and mistrust of medical systems—can contribute to later diagnoses and poorer outcomes for marginalized groups. WCRC provides a coordinated mix of services, including cancer navigation, peer support, information and referral, and wellness programs, all offered at no cost to clients. It operates as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit based in Berkeley, serving anyone with cancer, regardless of type or background.
