Serving the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Community in Northern California Since 1990

History

 

The Stonewall Alliance Center (SAC) was formed in 1990 to create a safe space for the gay and lesbian, bisexual and transgender community of Butte County and the Northern Sacramento Valley. A committee of men and women from the community conducted a thorough needs assessment and secured the first location of the Stonewall Alliance Center in 1992.  In 1995 the Stonewall Alliance Center moved its offices to the Waterland-Breslauer building in downtown Chico. We are located next to the Downtown Plaza Park, site of free concerts on Friday evenings during the summer months and just blocks from the California State University, Chico.

SAC was an early member of the National Association of LGBT Community Centers (www.nalgbtcc.org). Over 125 community centers exist in the United States. Each an independent agency serving local community needs.
