How to Help
At S.A.F.E. House, your compassion creates real change. Every act of generosity — whether big or small — helps provide safety, stability, and hope for individuals and families impacted by intimate partner violence.
While staying at the shelter, our residents:
-
Live in semi-private or private housing
-
Receive three meals per day
-
Are provided basic hygiene products
-
Receive needed clothing from our Thriftique store
-
Are invited to participate in services including counseling and case management
-
...and so much more.
When people stay at S.A.F.E. House, the shelter is their temporary home. We have two housing programs called RISE and BEST which provide 12-24 months of case management and rental assistance. Spots in these programs are limited and consist of both past residents and other domestic violence victims in our community.
As a 501(c)3 registered non-profit, we are able to stretch a financial donation to help provide the best support to survivors of intimate partner domestic violence.
There are many meaningful ways to get involved and make a difference, all year long.
