We know that in today's world, we are all very busy. We feel pressured when a group asks for a donation of money, gifts and even worse your time. Volunteers are vital to Safeline's work. Some people just don't have any extra time, but there many other ways to volunteer to support Safeline.


Following are ways in which cash donations may be used:

  • $10.00 will buy a phone card when she has to make that call to find help.
  • $25.00 will buy a gas card that will allow her to move to a safe area.
  • $50.00 will buy food for her children and herself while she is in transition.
  • $75.00 will help rent a U-Haul if she needs to relocate.
  • $100.00 will help shelter her and her children while they find a safe home.
  • $300.00 will help her relocate if she finds it unsafe to stay here.
  • $500.00 will help with rent and utility deposits as she starts a new life in safety.
