A Message to Our Community
We want to share an important update regarding the current status of Safe Space.
Safe Space board made the difficult decision in April to place our shelter in hibernation status, meaning our doors are temporarily closed due to the lack of funding necessary to safely and effectively operate our programs and services.
Over the past 10 months, we have faced a number of challenges and financial obstacles that have limited our ability to operate at full capacity. This was not an easy decision, and we recognize how deeply our community depends on services for individuals and families impacted by domestic and sexual violence.
Please know that hibernation does not mean the end of our mission.
We remain fully committed to the survivors and families in our community. Behind the scenes, we are continuing to work tirelessly to strengthen our organization, secure sustainable funding, rebuild resources, and create a path toward reopening our doors.
As we work toward that goal, we are also looking for members of our community who would like to become involved and help us move forward. We are currently seeking additional board members, are always welcoming volunteers, and are exploring new fundraising opportunities that can help provide the financial support needed to reopen and sustain our services.
Whether through serving on our board, volunteering your time, helping with fundraising efforts, sharing ideas, or supporting our mission in other ways, community involvement can make a meaningful difference in helping us rebuild.
If you are interested in helping us in any way, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We would be grateful to hear from individuals, businesses, organizations, and community members who want to support our mission and help us move forward.
Our goal has always been, and continues to be, to provide a safe place for some of the most vulnerable members of our community when they need it most.
We are incredibly grateful for the continued support, compassion, and understanding of our community during this difficult chapter. We believe strongly in the importance of these services, and we are doing everything we can to ensure they can once again be available to those who need them.
This is a pause โ not an end. Together, with the support of our community, we hope to strengthen our organization and reopen our doors to those who need us most.
