When you participate, you’ll receive your choice of a purple solar light or purple porch light, along with a yard sign explaining what the purple light represents.
Display your light and sign at your home or business as a visible message to our community:
We stand against domestic violence.
We stand with survivors.
We believe everyone deserves to be safe at home.
Community Programs
SAFE's community programs work extends beyond our shelter walls. Through prevention education, professional training, and community organizing, we work to shift the conditions that allow domestic and sexual violence to occur — creating a Bitterroot Valley where everyone is safe at home.
My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
— Desmond Tutu

Ravalli County Coalition
SAFE leads the Ravalli County Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence — a coordinated community response bringing together partners from criminal justice, education, housing, healthcare, and victim services. Together we work to strengthen our community's response to violence and close the gaps survivors face when seeking help.
Community Partnerships
We actively cultivate relationships with agencies, businesses, and community leaders across the Bitterroot Valley. Strong partnerships mean survivors have more pathways to safety. If your organization would like to partner with SAFE, contact Brielle to get started.
