💜 Stocking Our Shelves💜

A special thank you to the Shawano branch of Associated Bank for organizing a donation drive through their "Stock Box" to collect much-needed items for Safe Haven!

These donations couldn't have come at a better time, as many of these items are in high demand at our shelter!

🖋️💜 $1,000 CASH! 💜🖋️

Today, Lucas Hartwig from Tatted Dad Co. stopped by Safe Haven with $1,000 in cash to donate from our recent tattoo fundraiser! That's in addition to the generous support from our event sponsors and raffle donors! 🙌

For the second time, Lucas Hartwig and TattooLucas donated their time, incredible artistic talents, and generosity to support Safe Haven and the survivors we serve.

There are SO many ways to give back to your community, and these two are a perfect example of using what you do best to make a difference!

Can we get a round of applause for Tatted Dad Co.?! 👏💜 Thank you to Lucas, Lucas, and everyone who came out to make this event such a success. We are so grateful!

💜EDUCATION AT ITS FINEST!💜

We're shouting this one from the rooftops! 📣

A HUGE shoutout to our Program Supervisor, Treena, who spent time with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders at Shawano Middle School last week and today. Our intern, Dayna helped out too!

They tackled important topics like healthy relationships, consent, and sextortion, while keeping students engaged, encouraging conversations, and handing out LOTS of candy! 🍬😂

We were especially impressed with the students' thoughtful questions and participation. And the feedback? One student summed it up perfectly:

💬 "I wouldn't change anything, it was peak!"

We may have had to Google what "peak" means in middle school slang... but apparently, that's a pretty great compliment! 😂

Prevention education is a huge part of our mission, and these conversations help give young people the tools to build healthy relationships and recognize unsafe situations. They also share that Safe Haven is a place they can reach out to for help and questions.

Safe Haven's prevention education is PEAK! 💜😉

💜🖋️ Tattoos, Talent & Community Support! 🖋️💜

As Domestic Violence Awareness Month continues, we're shining the spotlight on another incredible community partner who found a pretty unique way to support Safe Haven!

This past weekend, Tatted Dad Co. right here in Shawano welcomed us back for our SECOND tattoo fundraiser, and what a great day it was!

There are so many amazing ways our community shares their time, talents, and resources with Safe Haven, and this one is definitely near the top of the list! Lucas and Lucas put their incredible artistic talents to work, offering flash tattoos and donating funds to support our mission. Add in some raffles, a giveaway, coffee from The Daily Drip Coffeehouse, donuts from Fanita's, and great people, and you've got one awesome day!

Of course, none of this happens without some other pretty amazing partners:

💜 Josh Hull with Thrivent – Our event sponsor!

💜 Crooked Fence Ranch – Our raffle and game sponsor!

To everyone who stopped in, got some new ink, participated in the fun, or simply came to show support—THANK YOU!

📸 Check out some of the fun from the day! 💜

🏍️💜 Good Rides. Great People. An Even Greater Cause! 💜🏍️

What started as a Women's Ride with Caroline Motorsports LLC “Your Polaris and Bobcat Dealer “ turned into something pretty special!

For the first time, Caroline Motorsports collected donations during their Women's Ride to support a local organization, and we couldn't be more humbled that Safe Haven was chosen as their very first recipient!

And boy, did they deliver! Together, they raised just over $1,400 to support survivors right here in our community!

What makes this even more meaningful is that their generosity comes during Domestic Violence Awareness Month—a time when community support and standing alongside survivors means so much.

To Caroline Motorsports and everyone who rode, donated, and helped make this possible, THANK YOU! 💜
