The Crisis Center

Our purpose is to encourage victims to seek crisis intervention services, promote awareness thereof, and to educate our communities regarding the dynamics of family violence , sexual assault, and child abuse. Our goal is to help these victims achieve safety, self-sufficiency and a life free from violence by providing intervention services. The Crisis Centeris a community-based, volunteer supported program that provides shelter and support to victims of family violence and sexual assault in Matagorda and Wharton Counties.

Since its beginning in 1984, the Crisis Center has consistently grown because of the commitment of local volunteers and the high level of community involvement. The Crisis Centeris funded by Federal and State grants, city and county funds, foundation grant support, local and regional businesses, the United Way and many generous individuals.
