Are You Experiencing This?
Living in fear of a partner’s anger
Being hurt physically, emotionally, or financially
If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone. SAFE is here to help you figure this out.
Why SAFE Exists
SAFE was built on a simple but urgent belief: every person in Southeast Louisiana deserves to feel safe in their own home. We serve Tangipahoa, Livingston, and St. Helena Parishes, communities where resources are spread thin, and silence is often the only option survivors feel they have. We exist to change that.
Purple Ribbon Initiative
Every Ribbon Tells a Story of Hope
Honor Survivors. Remember Lives. Build Hope.
The Purple Ribbon Initiative is more than a fundraising campaign—it's a visible reminder that survivors of domestic violence are not alone.
Every ribbon added to SAFE's Wall of Hope represents a story. Some ribbons honor survivors who found the courage to seek safety. Others remember lives lost to domestic violence. Many celebrate community members who stand beside survivors and believe every person deserves a life free from abuse.
Together, these ribbons create a powerful display of hope, healing, and community support.
When you add your ribbon, you become part of a movement committed to ending domestic violence in Tangipahoa, Livingston, and St. Helena Parishes.
Why Your Support Matters
Domestic violence affects individuals, families, workplaces, schools, and entire communities. Your support helps SAFE provide critical services that survivors depend on every day.
Funds raised through the Purple Ribbon Initiative help support:
Emergency shelter and safe housing for survivors and their children
24-hour crisis intervention services
Legal advocacy and court accompaniment
Financial assistance and empowerment programs
Support groups and emotional healing services
Community education and prevention programs
Youth education focused on healthy relationships
Future workforce development and job readiness opportunities for survivors
Every donation helps survivors rebuild their lives and move toward long-term safety and independence.
