5 WINTER TEXAN TIMES www.wintertexantimes.com MARCH 20, 2024 (956)566-1157 During a recent Hands and Feet meeting, Winter Texans and other First United Methodist Church ( M c A l l e n ) family members made Easter baskets for Estrella’s House (Children’s Advocacy Center of Hidalgo and Starr Counties). This has become an annual tradition for the church and is always a lot of fun. The Children’s Advocacy Center is the first stop for children in Hidalgo and Starr counties who have been sexually or physically abused or witnessed a violent crime. They provide a safe and comfortable environment for children while working alongside law enforcement agents, officials, and investigators to coordinate information and develop approaches that are sensitive to the child’s needs. The church members do this in the hope that it will provide a little ray of sunshine to the children who are dealing with a very difficult time. Pictured with the group are Judy and Daris Hable and other Winter Texans.
