What they’re saying

Get involved

“We have something better than $115 billion worth of buildings in Williamson County in appraised value, and the most important building in Williamson County is the Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center.” BILL GRAVELL, WILLIAMSON COUNTY JUDGE

As sta settle into the expanded and remodeled space, WCCAC leaders are already planning for the organization’s future. “As the county continues to grow, there won’t be as long of a time period before we end up needing to “gure out what that next growth is,” Sturman said. In the meantime, to serve more families in the new building, she said the WCCAC leans on volunteers, donors and community advocates. “We’ve been serving this community for 26 years, and most people don’t know we exist,” she said. “While that’s a good thing because that means most likely they haven’t had to use our service, … there’s a lot of kids who do need help, and there’s a lot more we should be helping.”
