Since its establishment in 1976, SafeSpace has
grown from being among the first domestic violence shelters established in Tennessee to
providing program and services to more than 4,000 women, children, and men annually in
Jefferson, Cocke, and Sevier counties. Without SafeSpace, many of these victim’ hope for
peace is lost.
Every year we rely on the community to contribute financial and personal resources to
help us continue to serve victims of domestic violence and their families and to help
prevent future abuse. You can be part of the solution. Your donations help victims survive
the odds. Please donate today, your gift is a way you can partner with us to fight domestic
violence in our community.
SafeSpace relies on the generosity of the community to provide goods and items for victims
of domestic violence and their families who are in crisis or may be trying to leave an
abusive home.
