"You saved my life when my relationship with my husband became dangerous for myself and my grandchild. Staying with my mom was out of the question because he knew where she lived. I was living in fear with nowhere to turn until I found Safe Shelter. Even though we were sick with fever, you figured out how to help us with a motel room for two weeks until my grandchild was symptom free, reached out to me every day and provided food and items to tide us over. Now he has been arrested and we are safe. I could not have done it without you."

"I am donating to you to thank you for all you do. A few years ago an advocate came with me to the courthouse for three hours to help me fill out and submit paperwork for a protection order. I was grateful to not be alone and be with someone who knew how to navigate the paperwork. There was no charge for this. She was incredibly supportive and helpful. Thank you so much."

Founded in Response to Community Need
Safe Shelter of St. Vrain Valley was established in response to the growing need for support and resources for individuals impacted by domestic violence and related issues in the community. Recognizing the critical lack of services for survivors, a dedicated group of community members came together to create a safe haven where individuals and families could find refuge and support. In some cases, even opening their homes in lieu of any other options.
Early Years and Expansion of Services
In its early years, Safe Shelter focused on providing emergency shelter and crisis intervention services. As the organization grew, it expanded its offerings to include individual and group counseling, case management, legal advocacy, and community education programs. These services were designed to address not only the immediate safety needs of survivors but also to support their long-term healing and independence.
