Hayes-Caldwell Women's Center Designated as Council in Action Recipient
Council in Action is a giving program in association with the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas Council. It is an opportunity for the Diocese of West Texas to serve a community within the diocese, opening our hearts and walking as God has called us to do by assisting those in need.
Council in Action ministry partner is Hays-Caldwell Women’s Center (HCWC), an organization whose mission is to create an environment where violence and abuse are not tolerated in the communities we serve. The Center provides education, violence prevention services and crisis intervention to victims of family violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and child abuse.
Last year, HCWC empowered over 2,200 victims of abuse, provided approximately 6,700 nights of shelter, and assisted approximately 2,900 individuals through their helpline.
We encourage every church to demonstrate God’s love through support of this amazing organization. Congregations are invited to bring the following items with them to Council 2025 in support of HCWC:
- Diapers size 5 and up
