A community is strongest when neighbors invest in one another.
Today, we are celebrating and thanking the Puget Sound Energy Foundation for a generous $5,000 grant award supporting the work of SDVSAS.
This investment helps strengthen our emergency domestic violence shelter and the supportive services that provide safety and stability for survivors and families in Skagit County. Many arrive with little more than what they can carry, uncertain what tomorrow will bring for themselves and their children. Alongside a safe place to stay, survivors access advocacy, support groups, assistance navigating legal systems and community resources, and practical support to help meet essential needs while planning for the future.
Whether helping a family settle into shelter, assisting a survivor in pursuing employment, connecting someone with vital resources, or working toward long-term stability, these services help create pathways toward lasting safety and stability. For many survivors, emergency shelter is the first step in rebuilding a future free from violence, making this program a vital resource within our community.
We are grateful for partners like the Puget Sound Energy Foundation who recognize that stronger, more resilient communities begin with meeting people where they are and ensuring they have the support needed to move forward.
Thank you for standing alongside survivors and helping make this work possible.
