COVID-19 Crisis Services

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.
