Mountain Crisis Services was founded on June 19, 1990 by Candy O'Donel Browne and a small group of concerned citizens in Mariposa County. They recognized a need for domestic violence services in the community, and Mountain Crisis Services was found. Since our inception, Alliance for Community Transformations was formed and now has seven programs underneath it's umbrella.

Mountain Crisis Services (MCS) has been dedicated to assisting victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, MCS offers a range of services, including support groups, peer counseling, legal advocacy, and emergency safe housing. In the previous fiscal year, MCS aided 124 new clients and conducted 962 service sessions. As MCS relies on fundraising and donations for funding, we are reaching out for your support to aid survivors in Mariposa County.

Every year, we host a fundraiser to help generate our general fund. Our general fund is used to help our survivors with things our grants can not provide. For Example, a mom needs a car seat or a survivor wants a train ticket back home. With the money we raise, it will be used to fund the fun things our grants do not.

Please join us for a jazzin' good time and a FAT party!
