**Non-Perishable Donations**

For the month of November we will be accepting donations at our office that will then be distributed to our ladies and children in housing. This is due to SNAP benefits not being given out for November. All of our ladies depend on their food assistance as they are in early recovery and don't have employment yet, or have just started working and don't have extra money for food yet. Any help is greatly appreciated ❤️

Our address is: 718 Griswold

Many survivors have shared similar stories with us when they reached out for help. Their dog or cat was their only comfort during the abuse. But the fear of what might happen to their pet often kept them from leaving.

This isn’t rare. Abusers often threaten, harm, or even kill pets to maintain control. Nearly half of survivor's delay leaving because they can’t take their animals with them.

That’s why we created 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘄𝘀—a program that provides emergency shelter, veterinary care, and fostering for the pets of domestic violence and human trafficking survivors.

It gives survivors the ability to bring their pets with them into safety, so they can begin the healing journey together.

No one should have to choose between their safety and their companions.

🐾💜 Safe Paws means safety for every member of the family.

We would like to give a heartfelt thank you to Angela Valdivia, Sean Forbes, and Crossroads Recovery Community for a wonderful event. A Walk to Remember brought a community together to honor those we have lost to overdose. May we always keep their memory alive. It was also an honor to have our MORT team recognized for the hard work they do for our community.
