Volunteer Spotlight!

Gina Limon

Gina has been volunteering with HCWC since May, 2025. She has been invaluable in our non-direct services, enthusiastically jumping in to volunteer in any and every program and project in need of assistance. She has volunteered almost every week, helping our educators create materials, prepping for events, organizing for advocates, and scanning and shredding countless files. We can’t thank Gina enough for her ongoing support!

“I recently moved back to Texas after traveling with my husband during his time in the Navy, and I am happy to call San Marcos home. While dropping off items at HCWC, I immediately knew I wanted to volunteer here. Everyone is wonderful and a pleasure to work with. I usually assist with office work, but I am happy to help out wherever I am needed.” – Gina
