Someplace Safe was incorporated in 1979 as a 501c3, private non-profit corporation dedicated to serving victims of domestic violence by providing a 24-hour emergency shelter for battered women and their children. Since the opening of the shelter in December of 1979, we have expanded our services to include victims of sexual assault and general crimes. Someplace Safe also operates four Parenting Time Centers to provide supervised visitations and exchanges for children and their families. We have outreach offices in the following communities: Perham, Fergus Falls, Alexandria, Glenwood, Elbow Lake, Morris, Wheaton, Ortonville and Breckenridge.
For our communities we provide violence prevention programming in schools, create partnerships with criminal justice agencies to promote system change and educate the professional and general public about the effects of violence on our communities.
Our Mission Statement: To create a safer world for everyone, we work to eliminate violence and oppression through advocacy, education and services.
Our Vision Statement: Someplace Safe for Everyone.
