Home for the Holidays
This is such a special time of year. As we enter the holiday season, what does "home" mean to you? For 21 homeless families with children, Safe Haven Family Shelter is their home for the holidays this year. The only shelter-to-housing program in Middle Tennessee that accepts the entire homeless family, Safe Haven provides much more than just a place to stay. Families receive financial education, therapy, debt reduction, essential academic and developmental tools for their children, and- most of all- the opportunity, to once again, secure a place to call home.
As we all think about being "home for the holidays," will you help ensure that our families will continue to have not only shelter but a home to call their own? Your gift is extremely important to Safe Haven as we impact families now while building a firm foundation for continued services to homeless families in our community. To donate online, please click here. If you need additional information or assistance making a gift, please contact rwilkins@safehaven.org
