Grant presented in Waco for Texas Advocacy Project
A $50,000 grant is being presented to the Texas Advocacy Project right about now at the David Wilson Allstate Insurance Agency in Waco to help victims of domestic violence.
The Allstate Foundation is giving the $50,000 check as part of its Economic Empowerment Program and to make the start of October’s National Domestic Violence Awareness Month..
According to a release, the Texas Advocacy Project has helped more than 8,000 victims of domestic violence across Texas in 2008.
The release notes: “The Project serves as a last resort for women who have no means of accessing the legal system to escape their dangerous daily dilemma, often taking on precedent-setting cases that can set the tone for survivors’ legal battles for years to come. The Project’s roots originated with its desire to provide a legal hotline for victims in need and it began with only three volunteer lawyers. Today, that hotline serves more than 10,000 Texans each year and the Project provides a full range of legal services to help survivors.
