Recognizing Volunteers -- Recognizing RCVCC's 30 years of
assistance to victims of violent crime, our board members
honored 42 volunteers at a celebration banquet. Some of the
volunteers have been with us for all 30 years, and many have
been with us for 15 to 25 years. Debra McCracken, president,
RCVCC board of directors, presented service awards to the
volunteers.
New phone system!
RCVCC has a new state-of-the-art office phone system,
thanks to a grant from The Community Foundation of
Abilene and the Lee and Ruth Caldwell Donor Advised Fund.
Assisting Child Victims -- Expanded services to child victims
of violent crime. Enhanced services in our counseling, play
therapy and education programs through funding from
Community Foundation of Abilene, Dodge Jones Foundation,
Senter Family Foundation Fund through the Community
Foundation of Abilene, and Hendrick Health Systems.
The Jay Hatcher Memorial Resource Library provides
RCVCC counselors with up-to-date materials and education
for assisting crime victims of all ages. More information...
Basic Needs -- Child and teen victims of sexual assault and
physical abuse often need personal hygiene items. The
Junior League of Abilene provided funding to help us stock the
shelves at the Abilene/Taylor County Child Advocacy Center,
where one of our counselors works with child victims and their
non-offending family members.
