About
GivingTuesday
Giving Tuesday is a worldwide movement dedicated to inspiring generosity and compassion. Started in 2012 as a simple call for people to do good, it has grown into a global tradition that motivates millions to give, support their communities, and uplift others.
Giving is not just about donating. It is about making a difference. Today, through #GivingTuesday, we’re sharing the many different ways you can support Safe Monroe as we work to provide a safe and caring environment that encourages healing and empowerment for anyone whose life has been impacted by domestic and sexual abuse.

Why Your Support Matters
It's more important than it ever has been to show up for your community
Every day, survivors in Monroe County reach out to us in moments of fear, crisis, and uncertainty. This year alone, Safe Monroe served 1,616 clients seeking safety, stability, and support. Our hotline rang 2,548 times — each call representing a person hoping someone will answer, listen, and help them find a path forward.
Your Giving Tuesday donation makes that possible.
When you give, you’re not just offering funds — you’re offering safety in the middle of the night, a voice of calm when someone is terrified, and a path toward healing after trauma. You’re ensuring that every survivor who reaches out hears, “You’re not alone. We’re here to help.”
Your Support:
Keep our 24/7 hotline staffed so every call is answered
Provide emergency shelter for individuals and families escaping danger
Offer trauma-informed counseling that rebuilds confidence and hope
Deliver court and legal advocacy so survivors feel supported, not overwhelmed
Offer prevention education and community awareness programs
When you donate, you become part of someone’s story of survival, ensuring that when abuse ends, hope begins. Your gift creates a lifeline for survivors in our community, a place where they are heard, protected, and supported.
Be Part of Their Safety Story
Your kindness today creates safety tomorrow. Join us in standing with survivors this Giving Tuesday. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, helps save lives.
