How Your Donations Help
- Serve the immediate and urgent needs of those experiencing homelessness. We maintain a standard inventory of items to provide as needed on a limited basis. Items include sleeping bags, blankets, tents, backpacks, hygiene items for both men and women, non-perishable food and snack items, paper goods, bottled water and hydration drinks, new socks and underwear, jackets, study materials and Bibles.
- Fund the cost of vouchers used to obtain laundry, gas, and clothing (especially important for those seeking jobs or actively employed).
- Fill Blessing Bags with toiletries and hygiene items, non-perishable food, snacks, water, bibles and related material. Blessing bags are given out to people in need. .
- Operate and maintain our van that allows us to go out and meet those living homeless where they are – parks, parking lots, open lands in Prescott Valley and vicinity. Our street outreach operates from a 2012 van that was generously donated to A Safe Place in 2020.
- Operate the Drop-In Center and provide hot meals, showers, a comfortable environment, and adequate food and supplies.
- Meet other operating needs and expenses such as storage space, office supplies, printing, insurance, web and computer support. Currently, A Safe Place is staffed 100% by volunteers; no one receives any compensation from A Safe Place.
