Lockhart

Lockhart is famous for its many BBQ restaurants and its recently revitalized downtown. Black’s BBQ has been one of our greatest supporters through our Dining for Change program. In Lockhart, we have an office where HCWC services are provided.

We have a great relationship with the community in Lockhart and we partner with them for several events throughout the year. One such event is the biannual Caldwell County Family Violence Task Force Conference. The task force was started in 1996 and includes members from all agencies and community members working on the local community response to domestic violence. This year, 93 people attended the conference held in Lockhart on October 26th. During the conference, longtime HCWC Board Member, Beverly Anderson was recognized and awarded as the Outstanding Volunteer of the Year.

Domestic Violence Awareness Walk

Every year HCWC partners with the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office to organize a walk around the historic courthouse to bring awareness to Domestic Violence. This year, one of our Legal Advocates, Chantal Pierre, was honored with an appreciation award for outstanding service and dedication to Caldwell County domestic violence victims.

A Strong Partnership with Law Enforcement

April is Child Abuse Awareness Month and last year HCWC served 55 child abuse victims from Lockhart. The Caldwell County Sheriff’s office hosts the Shower of Giving to collect donations for the children HCWC serves. This year, one of our Children’s Counselors, Ashley Rios, LCSW, was recognized and awarded for doing an outstanding job advocating for and counseling child victims of abuse. 

Having such a good relationship with law enforcement is critical to the work we are able to do to help victims of abuse and assault.
