A project 8 years in the making!

Congratulations to our partners, Safe Harbor, on the opening of their beautiful new facility! We were so glad to be part of this morning’s ribbon cutting and to tour the new spaces that will serve as a beacon of hope, healing and support for so many survivors.

We’re excited to see the impact this space will have on survivors and our community for years to come.
