Officials with the nonprofit Assistance League Georgetown Area expect to open a new facility in the next five years.

The gist

The search for land for a larger facility was prompted by the nonprofit’s desire to increase its outreach in Georgetown, Vice President of Marketing and Communications Jo-Anne Martin said in an email to Community Impact.

Eventually, staff will move out of the nonprofit’s current facility at 900 N. Austin Ave., Ste. 115, Georgetown and relocate into a new facility off Verde Vista, Martin said. The team hopes to build the new facility in five years after holding a capital campaign, she said.

Why it matters


Martin said the nonprofit is focused on enhancing children’s educational opportunities, building self-esteem, aiding teachers and assisting victims in hours of crisis.

Assistance League Georgetown Area offers community programs for children and families through:“We're very excited looking to the future with expanding our operation to better serve the Georgetown community,” Martin said.
