Someplace Safe

Someplace Safe was incorporated in 1979 as a 501c3, private non-profit corporation dedicated to serving victims of domestic violence by providing a 24-hour emergency shelter for battered women and their children. In December of 1979, they expanded their services to include victims of sexual assault and general crimes. Rotary was joined at the March 13th meeting by Someplace Safe's Susie Trexler. Susie talked about how they are striving to create a safer world for everyone by working to eliminate violence and oppression through advocacy, education and services.

In Alexandria, Someplace Safe is located in the Marian Building.
