THE CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER OF HIDALGO COUNTY
In 2006, the Junior League of McAllen granted $40,975 to the Children’s Advocacy
Center of Hidalgo County. These monies facilitated the center's move into a new facility
which doubled their size and significantly improved their ability to serve the children of the
community. When the children, who have experienced the trauma of
child abuse arrive, they are now in beautiful surroundings with the chance
to do arts and crafts while waiting for their interview. Funds were
also used to purchase additional equipment for the
facility - nine surveillance cameras, a medical table, copiers, computers,
a phone system, and six DVD recorders.
