Support Family Violence & Sexual Assault Survivors in Texas

You can make a meaningful difference in the lives of survivors.

SAAFE House depends on the compassion and commitment of people like you. Whether you have time, resources, or talents to give, your support helps survivors of domestic and sexual violence find safety, rebuild stability, and regain hope. Every act of generosity — big or small — strengthens our mission and directly impacts families right here in East Texas.

Our resale shop offers a unique way to support survivors.

This & That Boutique and Resale turns community generosity into life-changing resources for survivors. When you shop, donate goods, or volunteer your time, you help fund shelter operations and programs not covered by grants.

Donations help us provide safety, stability, and essential care.

Financial donations help keep our shelters open and fund critical programs like counseling, legal advocacy, and crisis response. In-kind contributions — such as clothing, toiletries, household goods, and children’s items — meet daily needs for families rebuilding after violence. You can also visit our Wish List to see the items most urgently needed.

Volunteering and internships are powerful ways to support survivors.

We offer flexible opportunities for individuals, students, and community groups who want to make a real impact. Whether you help sort donations, support outreach efforts, assist with events, or contribute your professional skills, your time matters.

Events and community outreach help spread awareness and strengthen support.

From Domestic Violence Awareness Month activities to community trainings, fundraising events, and educational presentations, SAAFE House is active throughout East Texas. Participating in these events helps raise awareness, reduce stigma, and build a more informed, supportive community where survivors feel seen and valued.

Careers at SAAFE House allow you to make an impact every day.
