A PLACE FOR HOPE
Capital Campaign
When a child experiences abuse, there
must be a safe place to go — a place
where they can feel secure and
supported. A place where they can
begin to hope again. For any child in
the five-County Columbia River Gorge
region, SafeSpace is that place.
Investments in the SafeSpace Capital
Campaign will help ensure SafeSpace
will always be here for child victims of
abuse, neglect and maltreatment.
