The SafeCenter Empower. Advocate. Educate. Prevent. SafeCenter now serves men and women who have experience intimate partner domestic violence or sexual assault.

SafeCenter was formed in 1983, but became an official non profit organization in 1984, when Janet Holden realized the need for an agency to help victims of intimate partner domestic violence. With help of concerned citizens and many volunteers, SafeCenter was the first safe place for battered women and their children. Philosophy Statement
SafeCenter advocates the right for every person, adult or child, to live in a non-violent environment where individuality and equality are recognized and respected. We seek to maintain a supportive atmosphere wherein victims are able to obtain information, explore options and ultimately make their own choices. We understand that the scope of domestic and sexual violence transcends our local community. Work against societal violence must be achieved through networking at the local, state and national levels. Heightened awareness can lead to changes in society’s attitudes about victims and the conditions which lead to violence. Domestic and sexual violence are crimes that not only affect the victims and their families but society as a whole. Interventions must support survivors and hold abusers accountable through coordinated community responses. Vision:
End domestic violence and sexual assault. SafeCenter services include:

Hi friends, supporters, and followers! We have a request we could use some assistance with - our Emergency Shelter is in need of a new washing machine to keep up with the increasing laundry needs of our residents! We are seeking to purchase a commercial-grade, heavy duty Speed Queen washing machine from Gilbert’s Appliance here in Owosso - a machine that will last given our high level of usage. The cost is $1,299 and given our funding needs, could use some support to make this happen!

Can you share this and get the word out? And if you or someone you know is able to assist, please email our Shelter Director (Alyse Bleisner) at [email protected]!

Thank you for the help!!! We appreciate all of you!!!

For 12 weeks, we've asked you to believe in something.

Not just a campaign.
Not just a fundraising goal.
But in people.
In survivors who deserve the opportunity to heal.
In children who deserve to grow up knowing what safety and healthy love look like.
In families who deserve support.
In communities that can choose compassion over silence.
In a future where violence is prevented—not simply responded to.

Today, we have one final invitation.
Maybe you've been waiting for the right time to give.
Maybe you've shared every post but haven't donated yet.
Maybe you've already given and you're wondering what else you can do.
This is it.

One last act of hope.
💜 Make a gift.
💜 Share this post.
💜 Ask a friend to join you.
💜 Tell someone why this work matters.

As we close these 12 weeks, let's make our final message the loudest one yet:
🌿 There is hope.
💜 There is healing.
✨ There is a future.

And we can help make it possible.
Donate. Share. Show up. Carry hope forward.
Let's finish strong—and then let's keep going.

Twelve weeks ago, we started with a simple belief:

Every survivor deserves hope.

Since then, we've talked about what hope looks like.
It looks like being believed.
It looks like a safe place to turn.
It looks like children learning what healthy love looks like.
It looks like prevention.
It looks like healing.
It looks like community.
It looks like a survivor discovering that what happened to them does not have to define everything that comes next.

And through every one of these weeks, you have been part of the story.
Every person who donated.
Every person who shared a post.
Every person who talked about this work.
Every volunteer.
Every advocate.
Every community member who decided that survivors deserve better.

You helped carry hope forward.

Today is Week 12 of our campaign and whether you gave $10, $100, $1,000—or simply helped spread the word—we want you to know: Thank you.
Thank you for believing this work matters.
Thank you for believing survivors matter.
Thank you for believing our community can be safer, healthier, and more compassionate.
And thank you for choosing hope.

Our campaign may be ending, but the work continues.
There will always be another person who needs someone to listen.
Another family who needs support.
Another child who needs to learn that love should never hurt.
Another survivor who needs to know: You are not alone. You are believed. You matter. There is hope.

If you haven't had a chance to give, there's still time.
If you've already given, consider sharing this post one more time.
Because together, we can turn 12 weeks of hope into a future filled with hope.
