SAN MARCOS, Texas (KXAN) — A San Marcos-based non-profit is celebrating a renovation that they say will help them in their mission of caring for abused children.
Roxanne’s House, the Hays-Caldwell Women’s Center’s Child
Advocacy Center, provides support for abuse victims, including counseling and
forensic interviews.
Last year, it supported 574
victims of child abuse.
For the renovation, Roxanne’s
House partnered with HomeAid Austin and Brookfield Reservation. As a result, it
will open a new building with 300 sq. ft. of office space, where the facility
can place three members of staff.
HomeAid Austin said that discounted
and donated labor and materials saved Roxanne’s House more than $40,000.
“This addition will make all the difference in our office
space and ultimately being able to serve child abuse victims to the best of our
abilities,” said Ashley Rios, Program Director for Roxanne’s House.
“Words cannot express how grateful I am to
all who worked on this project,” she added.
