Help Make An Impact

Events and Happenings

Donate

Our free 24/7 safety planning and emergency shelter serve hundreds of families each year. Our counseling, child advocacy, and court and medical advocacy services guide survivors through their troubling times. And our teen outreach program reaches thousands of kids per year, giving them the education and resources to help keep them safe and prevent the cycle from repeating.

 

Ultimately, we’re working to make this a beautiful place again. For everyone. We gladly accept both monetary and material donations. Safe Passage is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. Donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
