San Marcos

San Marcos is a community centered around the river, and as one of the fastest growing city in the nation, we are constantly striving to keep up with the growing population and increased need for our services. To continue spreading the word about our services we created a Bathroom Campaign. We ask local businesses and healthcare providers to hang a flyer in all restrooms with pull tabs that include our 24-hour HELPline number. 

YouthFest

YouthFest is a long-standing San Marcos tradition, taking place in Plaza Park, focused on early childhood development. We currently partner with The Greater San Marcos Youth Council and Community Action to provide a day of fun, free activities and games for families to enjoy. YouthFest hosts local organizations that serve San Marcos families.

SAFE Exams

Central Texas Medical Center partners with HCWC to provide SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners) to complete SAFE (Sexual Assault Forensic Exams) for local children who have been chronically sexually abused. Roxanne’s House, our Children’s Advocacy Center, has a SAFE room on site so that children can be examined in a child centered environment. One of the benefits of having a SAFE room on site is that the children are more familiar and comfortable with Roxanne’s House than with a hospital. Professional counseling and advocacy are provided at Roxanne’s House, helping children begin their path to healing.

Business Support in San Marcos

We have a great number of business supporters in San Marcos. During Dining for Change, we were supported by Loli’s Café, Black’s BBQ, Mochas and Javas, Grin’s and Hays Co. BBQ. Mensor, Sagebrush Landscaping, and McCoy’s Building Supply have all been great continuous partners of HCWC.
