Behind the seemingly idyllic facade of affluent communities lies a stark reality: domestic violence affects one in three women and one in seven men regardless of zip code or socioeconomic status. The Kendall County Women's Shelter stands as a vital lifeline for those seeking escape from abusive situations, offering far more than just temporary housing.
What began in 2005 as a crisis hotline has evolved into a comprehensive support system with a 32-bed custom-built shelter where families find dignity, safety, and a chance to truly heal.
The shelter's comprehensive services address the complex barriers facing survivors: lack of transportation, absence of affordable childcare and housing, and the emotional aftermath of trauma. With 24/7 trauma-informed staff, case management, therapeutic services, and legal advocacy, KCWS helps clients navigate overwhelming challenges while rebuilding their sense of self-worth.
Want to make a difference? Support the shelter by shopping at their Fabulous Finds thrift store, participating in upcoming fundraisers like their September golf tournament, or volunteering your time and talents. Visit kcwstexas.org to learn how you can join their mission of transforming crisis into opportunity, one family at a time.
