Help us reach our goal!
We invite you to join us in a critical campaign to support our emergency shelter and the vital services it provides. Last year, our shelter was a lifeline for 81 adults and 73 children, offering them a safe haven, food, and essential care during their time of need.
Through the month of September, we’re raising funds to ensure we can continue this important work, and we need your help. By contributing to our campaign, you will be directly supporting our efforts to provide shelter, food, and basic necessities to those in crisis. Additionally, your donation will help fund our homeless prevention and rapid rehousing programs, giving families the support they need to rebuild their lives.
How You Can Help:
Donate: Your financial support is crucial. Even a small contribution can make a big difference in the lives of those we serve.
Raise Awareness: Share our mission with your friends, family, and social networks. The more people who know about our cause, the more we can accomplish together.
Show Your Support: Stand with us in supporting victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and their dependents. Your involvement sends a powerful message that these individuals are not alone.
By donating, you’re not just helping our shelter operate; you’re offering hope, safety, and a chance at a better future for survivors and their children.

The success stories of those who chose SAFE, INC.
By: Madison Caver, Case Manager

This is a story about a woman who decided to say NO to her abusive partner and YES to a healthy lifestyle. Macy was nervous about this transition because she had never lived on her own before. A few days after experiencing the last physical abuse from her boyfriend, Macy sought help from SAFE, Inc. After calling the hotline number and completing an assessment, Macy was approved for emergency shelter. Macy entered the shelter with visible marks from the abuse and the clothes on her back. SAFE, Inc. assisted Macy with immediate needs such as clothing, hygiene products, bedding, and nutrition. Macy also received transportation, counseling, case management, and court advocacy. She attended life skills groups to prepare herself with budgeting, nutrition, coping skills, and stress management. She attended support groups, individual counseling, and medical appointments. Macy quickly got a job and began saving money. Once meeting the majority of her goals, she began her relocation process. With the help of SAFE, Inc.’s assistance programs, Macy was able to relocate into secure housing. Macy filled her home with donated items from our warehouse. Since beginning her journey in a healthy environment, Macy has continued to attend counseling sessions. She has experienced bumps in her road to recovery, but she looks to healthy resources, such as SAFE, Inc., for guidance.
