For too many kids growing up in Austin, child abuseis a life sentence. Every year, there are more than 2,000 cases of child abuse reported, and over 400 children are removed from their homes as a result. This suffering and trauma affects their long-term

physical and mental health — leading to a greater risk of incarceration, teen pregnancy, dropping out

of school, homelessness, and suicide. SAFE is working to help kids heal and recover from trauma so they can live successful, independent lives. We cannot achieve

this without your support.

Our Mission

Our Vision

The SAFE Children's Shelter supports children,

young adults, and families affected by abuse,

exploitation, and neglect. Every child deserves to

feel safe, to receive nurturing care, and to have

the opportunity to grow into happy, responsible,

and fulfilled adults.

For more than 30 years we have served the

most vulnerable members of our community –

which has often meant adapting and changing.

Through the merger of Austin Children’s Shelter

and SafePlace, and the creation of SAFE, we are

better able to work toward our vision of ending

violence and abuse.

Your generous support of this event

helps change lives. Thank you.
