The groundbreaking ceremony for the Gilbert Advocacy Center took place on January 13, 2025, marking the official start of construction on this transformative facility. Once completed, the center will provide vital, compassionate services for crime victims in the community. It will feature spaces for victim advocates to offer support, forensic interview rooms to assist with police investigations, private counseling and group therapy rooms, and a comfortable, respectful environment designed to meet the needs of those seeking help. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the event and showed their support for this important initiative.
