Safer Foundation recently concluded its Season of Giving Campaign. This annual fundraiser, spanned from Giving Tuesday to the end of December and aimed to raise funds for three vital initiatives: Food Drive, Toy Drive, and Client Support. As we reflect on the success of this campaign, we extend our deepest gratitude to the generous donors whose support made it all possible.

Client Support, offered essential items such as gas and transit cards, work uniforms, and boots to our clients. Heartwarming testimonials highlight the profound impact these contributions had on the lives of those we serve.
