1976

Eight women in Stockton
came together with a shared vision.

From a Garage Sale to a Movement

In 1976, eight women in Stockton came together with a shared vision and a simple act of courage. With just $275 raised through a neighborhood garage sale, they created a lifeline for women and children experiencing violence at a time when few resources existed.

Fifty years later, that grassroots effort has grown into PREVAIL San Joaquin County’s leading provider of comprehensive, survivor-centered services supporting thousands of individuals and families each year on their journey from crisis to healing and empowerment.

An Unforgettable Evening of Impact

This milestone event will bring together community leaders, business partners, elected officials, advocates, and supporters
