This year HCWC is honoring Elva Gonzalez, Director of Programs and Services, for 35 years of dedicated service to victims of abuse. Elva began her HCWC career in 1979 at the tender age of 19. Her first position was that of bookkeeper but she very quickly found her passion and began providing direct services to clients. In honor of those very different times and Elva’s lifelong commitment to ending violence in our community this year’s Auction theme is “Party like it’s 1979!”

Last year over 300 community members attended the 30th Annual Auction to help raise over $89,000 in funding for HCWC. These funds are vital in providing direct services to victims of family violence, sexual assault and child abuse in our area.

In its 37 years of service, the Hays Caldwell Women’s Center has helped over 29,000 people in Hays and Caldwell counties, as our community continues to grow, the need for our services increases as well. We would not be able to respond to these increasing needs without the caring support of individual and business community members.
