If you would like to donate to the Houston Area Women’s Center, they accept new, unused items for the women and children HAWC serves. Financial donations are also graciously accepted on their website.
KPRC 2 and our Community partners at Energy Transfer and Houston Christian University hosted a phone bank with volunteers from the Houston Area Women’s Center to answer questions and offer help surrounding domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. Anyone seeking assistance after the phone bank should call HAWC’s 24-hour hotline at 713-528-2121.
