In April
of 1973, a group of sensitive and proactive women initiated
a crisis hotline as a means of supporting victims
of sexual assault. Using their kitchen tabletop "office" and
one phone, these women responded to the needs of 20 sexual assault
survivors in the first year.
In April of 1998, the Santa Fe Rape Crisis Center celebrated
25 years of continuously expanding service and support to Santa
Fe and northern New Mexico. The Center currently provides direct
support services to over 500 survivors of sexual violence and
their families each year. In addition, the Center's outreach
and prevention programs reach over 10,000 people in the community
every year.
Sierra Pacific was
chosen to supply the wood windows for the new headquarters
building for the Rape Crisis Center. The wood
interior lends warmth and comfort to the building and blends
well with the warm interior décor. The products chosen
includes casement, awning and direct glaze windows featured in
gull gray and clay aluminum clad exteriors.
