The Hays-Caldwell Women's Center is participating this month in several events to help raise awareness about domestic violence. Bobcat Update's Rachel Willis has the story.

Several San Marcos businesses are partnering with the Hays-Caldwell Women's Center to raise money for its services. For example, Cafe on the Square is donating a portion of its earnings to the women's shelter, which is called Roxanne's House. Also, the San Marcos United Methodist Church is raising money for the shelter selling pumpkins this month. Events like these help fund legal advocacy, counseling and housing for families coping with domestic abuse.

Cafe on the Square Manager Esther Henk says the sense of community in San Marcos is what helps raise awareness about issues like domestic violence.

Grin's Restaurant will also be donating some of its earnings to the Women's Center this week.
