Other needs:
- Gift cards empower our clients to make their own choices and provide for their children. Grocery store, drug store, gas cards and phone cards are most needed.
- Cell phones – working or broken, Safe Futures can use your old phone! Working phones are cleared and charged to be given to clients who need a lifeline – a phone to use in an emergency, one that their abuser cannot track or monitor. Non-working phones are sent to be recycled; Safe Futures receives cash for these phones, supporting our operating costs. Either way, cell phones stay out of landfills. Cell phone donations are a win for clients, Safe Futures, and the environment!
We appreciate new or gently used donations. Your generosity enables us to provide much-needed basic needs and some comfort to families in crisis.
