Corporate Partners Raise Awareness & Funds

By: Rachael Wilkins, Chief Development Officer

There is so much to be thankful for here at Safe Haven, and we want to express our deepest gratitude to all of our donors for your commitment to our mission and the families we serve. We know that each contribution of time, talent and funding reflects your heart for our families.

One unique way that corporations, foundations and civic groups have chosen to support is through events benefiting Safe Haven. Hosting an event takes tremendous effort, and the work that individuals put in to make it successful is greatly appreciated. It is an honor to partner with these groups, and the funds received will make an impact as we strive to meet more of the demand for services. I want to highlight some of the generous companies that have provided gifts over the past few months.

This avenue of giving is an opportunity for more community awareness and unrestricted funds. These investments in Safe Haven mean that we can build capacity, provide transformative support and give more families a place to call home.

Thank you to Tracy and the Mission: Possible Foundation board for making this generous contribution to help families experiencing homelessness.
