Batesville, Ind. — Because not all domestic violence victims need shelter, Safe Passage, Inc. has a non-resident support system.
The Community-Based Outreach Services program can help those residents with court filings, counseling, transportation, access to support groups and employment applications. Case managers work with victims to develop an individual action plan and safety assessment.
Since 1997, Safe Passage, Inc. has provided support to more than 10,000 people in Southeastern Indiana. The organization also plays a pivotal role in protecting children caught up in a domestic violence situation. The mission is to provide intervention services to victims of domestic violence that facilitate healing, independence and empowerment. The services are free.
Safe Passage, Inc. is a non-profit funded by government grants, fundraisers and donations. Supporters can also enroll in the Kroger Community Rewards Program or Amazon Smile ®, programs that contribute a portion of your purchase to the organization of your choice. There is more information online at safepassageinc.org/kroger_community_rewards.
On Saturday, August 12 from 10 a.m. to noon Safe Passage, Inc. will hold a Purse, Bag, Basket Auction and Salad Luncheon at the Batesville Middle School Commons. Director of community outreach, Mary Mattingly says brands included are Coach, Michael Koors, Vera Bradley and more. Purses and themed baskets will also contain special offers and things like fashion accessories or gardening essentials.
