Clay shoot raises funds for women’s shelter

The Kendall County Women’s Shelter’s annual Charity Clay Shoot at Joshua Creek Ranch raised $36,220 for victims of domestic violence, according to shelter officials.

Supporters and donors showed up Aug. 11 at the ranch to help the shelter raise funds for its mission, supporting parents and children of Bexar, Comal and Kendall counties as they begin to build new lives, free of abuse.

“One in four women and one in seven men will experience domestic abuse during their lifetime,” said Brooke House, executive director of the Kendall County Women’s Shelter. “This means that some of us here at this ranch have or will be affected by domestic violence.”
