Community Service Club Needs Your Help

by Rhyleigh Russell
Safe Futures is a humanitarian service located in Connecticut for the purpose of supporting all those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and trafficking. Safe Futures provides walk-in counseling, court services, and safety training information with confidential consultations. The facility also aids the children of families who have been affected. 
There is no one face to these crimes; they can exist in any community, involve people of any age, in any relationship. That is why it’s important to recognize Safe Futures as a vital organization to our community’s safety.
