THE ROAD THUS FAR: CELEBRATING SAFER FOUNDATION’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY
The road to a better future. It’s a long journey, and one that our organization has helped countless along. Today, we annually support over 5,000 men, women, and youth in attaining gainful employment. Our efforts go beyond the individual level to create a lasting positive impact on families and communities at large. But we didn’t get here overnight.
2022 marks a historic milestone in our organization’s journey: Safer Foundation’s 50th anniversary. A cause for both celebration and reflection, this anniversary marks half a century of relentless efforts, initiatives, legislation, and more. It’s time we commemorate these achievements that, together, have brought us step by step closer to creating an unobstructed, achievable journey for our clients on the road to a better future.
