Beauty From Ashes

A Capital Campaign for Survivors

We are constructing a new, modern facility focused on welcoming all domestic violence survivors with compassion. The three-story, 30,000-square-foot building will be on a 3.6-acre site on Landa Street in New Braunfels, Texas.

With the new space, we will be able to accommodate 90 individuals, nearly four times our current capacity, and create a facility that truly meets the needs of the women, men, and children we serve.

To discuss your gift, please contact Julie Strentzsch, 830.620.7520.

You may also give online and indicate your gift is for our Capital Campaign.

“It is time to rebuild. Our shelter burned in a devastating fire, and we all had to readjust. Like those we care for, we moved from place to place, and our hope felt dashed. We were helping people in trauma, and we were in trauma ourselves. We never stopped. We never gave up.”

-Julie Strentzsch, CEO, Crisis Center of Comal County
