Purple Ribbon Initiative

Every Ribbon Tells a Story of Hope, Healing, and Empowerment

SAFE’s Purple Ribbon Initiative honors survivors of domestic violence, remembers those we have lost, and celebrates the community members who stand beside them. Every ribbon represents a story — a survivor reclaiming their life, a family finding safety, or a community coming together to say: You are not alone.

Why Your Support Matters
Domestic violence affects women, men, and children in ways that are not always visible. Your contribution to the Purple Ribbon Initiative helps SAFE provide:

  • Emergency shelter and safe housing

  • Legal advocacy and court accompaniment

  • Financial support and life skills training

  • Education programs for individuals and the community

  • Emotional support through one-on-one and group sessions

With your gift, you are not only honoring survivors — you are helping them rebuild their lives safely and with dignity.

How You Can Participate

Individuals:

  • $75 or more: Receive a purple yard sign to proudly display and have your ribbon added to SAFE’s growing mural of hope.

  • Under $75: Your name will be written on a purple ribbon and displayed on the mural and shared on SAFE’s social media channels.

Businesses & Sponsors:
We invite local businesses to join the Purple Ribbon Initiative through our sponsorship tiers. Your business will be recognized publicly on our mural, social media, and at SAFE events.
