Safe Shores DCCAC
@safeshoresdc.bsky.social
Safe Shores provides survivor-centered services and support for children affected by abuse in DC and works to end child abuse and neglect as the DC Chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America.
As this year comes to a close, we’re reminded that the most powerful gift we can offer a victim of child abuse is hope — hope for safety, for healing, and for a future free from harm. And this year, supporters like you made that hope real. Thank you for your support!
