MARCH 2023: AGENCY HIGHLIGHTS

WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS!


This month at Something Special we celebrated our TOP 2022 Volunteers with the most hours of giving.


Suzanne Manroe – 1756 Hours

Chris Coffman – 1440.5 Hours

Wendy Clement-Marks – 718.5 Hours

Dale McLafferty – 708.5 Hours

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office seized all the stolen cleaning products as evidence in this case. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure mandates that seized evidence must be returned to the rightful owner or destroyed if an owner cannot be identified. Sheriff Henderson recognized that the destruction of such useful items would be a shame and therefore petitioned the Montgomery County Commissioners Court to sign an Order and Resolution to allow the seized items to be donated to the Montgomery County Women’s Center. The Commissioners Court unanimously voted in favor of this resolution and the donation of the items. 

VOLUNTEER/ DONOR SPOTLIGHT

We can only accomplish our mission and operate our agency with the help of our dedicated community and volunteers. These caring individuals give from their hearts as they assist us with a myriad of activities. Please enjoy some of the highlights from this month.

OUTREACH IN THE COMMUNITY

Our Outreach Department shares a message of safety and hope within the community. Often thought of as a private issue, domestic violence (DV) is, in fact, a social, business, and health priority that impacts our entire community. Our Community Education program uses storytelling, lectures, and interactive lessons to change societal attitudes and beliefs, end the stigma associated with DV, and help communities learn to identify and support victims.

APRIL: UPCOMING EVENTS

Sexual Assault Awareness Month is an annual designation observed in April. The mission of this month is to raise awareness about sexual violence around the world, and to educate communities on how to prevent it. This month, use your voice and any platform you have to spread the word to end sexual assault in the U.S. and worldwide. Another way to participate this month is to wear the color teal to honor survivors and keep the conversation going. Sexual assault is a horrific problem, but the good news is that prevention is possible, and it’s happening more and more. By ending the stigma and continuing support and awareness programs, we can slowly but surely lower the number of sexual assaults that occur every year.
