In this episode of Local Insights, Kenny Rahmeyer talks with Karen Housewright, a Board Member at Hays County Child Protective Board. Tune in to Local Insights every Sunday morning on KLBJ 93.7FM.
The Hays County Child Protective Board (HCCPB) is an all–volunteer organization that began in 1978 to work with the citizens of Hays County, the Hays County Commissioners Court, and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.

Their Mission is to enhance the lives of children from families in crisis by providing support and services that are not funded by the State.
Each month, the Board Members meet to consider the emergency needs of children who are in the care of Child Protective Services (CPS) because of abuse and neglect. The Board meets these children’s emergency clothing and medical needs, and it funds other needs not met by the State: car seats, cribs, bedding, driver education, tutoring, back-to-school clothing, holiday and birthday gifts, and much more.
