Someplace Safe depends on volunteers and community members like you. At least 6,880 hours were donated by more than 535 dedicated individuals to help support our work and outreach efforts in our most recent fiscal year. These contributions equaled an economic impact worth nearly $150,000 – all by individuals giving their time!
