SafeSpace envisions communities unified in achieving freedom from domestic violence.
SafeSpace, a 501c3 nonprofit organization, is the only state certified domestic violence center saving lives 24/7 and preventing domestic violence throughout the Treasure Coast of Indian River, Martin and St. Lucie counties. It is the local area expert in providing domestic violence services and offers a safe haven to victims and their children as they seek refuge from physical and emotional abuse.
SafeSpace is much more than just a crisis hotline and an emergency shelter. It empowers victims to become survivors by providing an extensive array of other programs and services, including legal assistance, financial literacy training, emotional and mental health counseling, advocacy, community outreach, and prevention education.
Help SafeSpace continue to open the door to a future free from violence. Help us stop the cycle of violence and empower victims to help themselves become independent, self-sufficient and safe.
Domestic violence statistics in the U.S. are staggering.
Since federal, state and local grants only cover about 50% of the agency’s expenses, SafeSpace needs your help to raise the other 50% in order to implement all the much needed programs. You can make a difference in the lives of thousands of women, men and children every year.
The First Annual Amethyst Charity Ball, hosted by Emmelis and Ernesto Keaney at Tesoro Golf Club on April 1, 2023, was a great success and raised much needed funds to help save and change the lives of domestic violence victims and their children. The event raised over $100,000 through sponsorships, ticket sales, a silent auction, a live auction and a 50/50 raffle drawing. Thank you to the Amethyst Charity inaugural Committee of Arati Hammond, Cara Montgomery, Emmelis Keaney, Gina Giuggio, Janie Tighe, Jessica Malasek, Nancy Wong, Sandee Jo Crocker, and Sharon Dvir.
Home Depot Give Back, on April 21 team members Treasure Coast Home Depots came to help support SafeSpace’s efforts to revitalize their Martin County Emergency Shelter. All new landscaping was donated and planted around the grounds, new landscape equipment would be donated, new furniture would be donated and built, and exterior lighting would be enhanced throughout the property.
