A Safe Place

This Christian Ministry serves all individuals in the Prescott Valley area who find themselves without housing and need help to once again become self-sustaining.

About Us

A Safe Place is a Christ-centered, Independent, Board-led organization with a growing team of volunteers who minister directly to people experiencing homelessness in the Prescott Valley, AZ area.  Our team is comprised of individuals from various local churches and Christian organizations who have come together to serve in a God-honoring way, with love, acceptance and without judgement.

We are a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization that was established in 2018 and incorporated in 2020, and we are a qualified charitable organization under the AZ Tax Credit program.  Early on we were blessed with anonymous donors that allowed A Safe Place to get established with initial funding and a used van.  More recently, we were blessed with donated space in which to open a drop-in center.  Throughout our existence, we have been blessed with financial and in-kind donations that allow us to continue to serve. 

At this time, Safe Place is 100% volunteer run and funded only by private donations.

Chair

Shortly after moving to AZ, God called me to serve His homeless people, and it continues to be a humbling, rewarding experience.  Each day we serve, we spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and get to see God’s impact in people’s lives.  It is through doing His work that we meet basic human needs, but to a greater degree, we bring hope.

God has been with me and carried me throughout my life.  Through these joyful and painful events, I have gained my faith, experience, strength, and hope.  I want to share God’s love and be a blessing to others by being of service.

I have seen how God uses A Safe Place to bless the homeless in our community in meaningful ways.  There is a real need here that cannot be ignored.  I strive to use the gifts God has given me to help support this organization in providing care for our homeless neighbors.

I was looking for a ministry where I could help people that are in need. In working with the homeless, while you are a blessing to them, you come to realize that they are also a blessing to you.

Being part of a team of like-minded servants is truly a blessing.  Sharing God’s love while meeting the basic needs of our homeless community is beyond reward.
