Alamo Area Rape Crisis Center celebrates 50 years serving San Antonio

Another priority of the RCC is to educate and spread awareness about the affects that victims of sexual assault may experience, RCC CEO Audra Atzger said.

“Our mission is so critical to the community,” Atzger said. “We need more people to just be aware.”

Aside from these services, another goal of the RCC is to spread awareness toward prevention and the affects victims of sexual assault may experience.

What the experts say

Atzger said that the future of the RCC relies heavily on the continued support of the community.

“We’ve had a great loss of funding across city, state and federal levels,” she said. “We need support now more than ever.”

Two to three sexual assault or abuse incidents occur each day in the San Antonio—further intensifying the need for residents to step up and help, Atzger said.

“We need people to not just support us but also those that may be in need,” she said.

Individuals interested in supporting the nonprofit can volunteer or donate.
