Mission

The purpose of the

Hays-Caldwell Women's

Center is to create an environment where violence and abuse are not tolerated in the communities we serve. The Center will provide education, violence prevention services, and crisis intervention to victims of family violence, sexual assault and child abuse. We will seek the support and resources necessary to achieve this mission.

Curtis Clay

Purchase "No More" from itunes or cdbaby.com.  It's an original song by HCWC Board Member  Curtis Clay inspired by the child sexual assault cases perpetrated by Jerry Sandusky.  Curtis sang it at our HCWC Open House and our Auction, and  audience response was phenomenal.

 We Need Your Help!

 

Since the onset of the 2008 global financial crisis, we have seen a dramatic rise in demand for HCWC services and an alarming decrease in government funding.   The only solution to bridge the gap is local private funding. We are focusing on efficiency by expanding our use of interns and volunteers (152 last year) and cutting staff. Every cost is carefully scrutinized.

 

Please help us continue to provide crucial services to victims of violence.   We know you care.  Go to www.hcwc.org and donate online securely with PayPal.
