We’re Hiring!
Are you or someone you know passionate about making a difference in the lives of individuals in our community! HCWC is currently hiring for multiple positions.
Speak Your Truth. Break the Silence.
We are offering a place for the community to anonymously submit their works for us to share with our supporters. Your story, poetry, art, or advice to your younger self could make a huge difference in the life of someone experiencing abuse, and could even be the motivation they need to reach out for help or to process the emotions they feel from the abuse.
Providing Transitional Housing to Victims of Abuse
According to the National Network to End Domestic Violence the leading cause of homelessness for women and children is domestic violence and we are seeing that right here in Central Texas. Many victims face homelessness when they flee their abusers and are often unable to find safe, affordable housing. We’re doing something about that. Learn More
Stop the Hurt
A project of HCWC, Stop the Hurt is our educational website dedicated to giving resources to parents and teens on helping victims of dating violence. We created it with the intent of being an online advocate for those who want to help the ones they love and don’t know where to start. Visit the Site!
