The organization formerly known as GaDuGi SafeCenter has received a nearly $51,000 grant, the Kansas Attorney General’s Office announced in a news release Monday.
The Sexual Trauma & Abuse Care Center will receive $50,914 to offer sexual violence prevention training and to expand its community education efforts, the release said.
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said in the release that his office is “pleased to support the Sexual Trauma & Abuse Care Center” in its efforts to prevent sex crimes.
