A Safe Place Today
In 2023, God opened the doors for A Safe Place to begin creating something new for people experiencing homelessness – a space where they are welcome, a space to enjoy physical and spiritual refreshment, and a space to engage with people who can support their return to a place of sustainable self-sufficiency.
In 2024, the Drop-In Center located in Prescott Valley opened its doors.
Today, A Safe Place continues to operate the Drop-In Center four days a week thanks to the support of our donors and the various community partners who have collaborated with us! The Drop-In Center is a place of respite and refreshment; a chance to spend time out of the vehicles where many live and in community with others; a place to shower and get a change of clothes; enjoy a meal, fellowship, and bible study; and engage with Chaplains and volunteers who can help break down barriers to needed services, employment, health care and housing.
Going forward, we will continue seeking God’s direction and timing for expanding how to serve the needs of this vulnerable population. We will continue working within our local community to strengthen the network of services needed (e.g., overnight or emergency shelter facilities) that address urgent needs and help lift people out of the cycle of homelessness in a way that restores their dignity and faith.
Help. Serve. Give.
We invite you to join us in our mission to serve those experiencing homelessness.
