Dear friends, I was thrilled the other day when my dear friend Norma Brewin dropped by the shelter with some donations! Norma was one of four local women who founded SAFE Shelter! Back in the late 70s, Norma, along with Lucy Brannen, Harris Lentini and Caroline Armstrong realized the need in the community for services to battered women and their children. To fill that need, they visited every social service agency in Savannah asking if that agency would undertake or add a battered women’s project to its services.
While the agencies acknowledged the need no one could undertake the project. Undeterred, this small but determined group of women refused to give up. With the purchase of an old Victorian house in 1979, they were on their way. In 1980, the first SAFE Shelter opened. And now, 38 years later, the shelter has seen approximately 23,000 victims of domestic violence come through it's doors.
We are currently in the process of trying to piece together articles, pictures, etc. to document the shelter's history. If you or anyone you know has any old shelter materials, please give me a call! 912 629-0026.
We owe so much to the passion and dedication of this group of women. Saying thank you just doesn't seem to be enough. ... See MoreSee Less
