The Girl Scouts of Central Texas HACA
program is named for its partnership with the Housing Authority of the City of
Austin. The program provides service to girls from low income and low resource
backgrounds in order to help them reach their full potential. Girl Scouts of
Central Texas’ vision is to deliver programs that focus on leadership
development, while also offering provable outcomes that benefit girls, their
families and their communities.
Last week, the seven
participating HACA troops created sweet treats and holiday cards to donate to
the Volunteer Health Clinic (VHC), a nonprofit clinic that focuses on providing
medical access to low income and uninsured residents of Travis County. The
Volunteer Health Clinic goes above and beyond to deliver the community with
high quality health care and prevention education. Just like the Girl Scouts,
VHC depends highly on their volunteers as they are the heart of the clinic.
The troops enjoyed being able to make and
share Christmas popcorn mix, reindeer candy canes, and Christmas cards all
filled with Girl Scout love.
