SafeNet Launches Holiday Fundraisers for Survivors

SafeNet is running two holiday fundraisers to support survivors of domestic violence. The Home for the Holidays campaign helps provide shelter, meals, basic needs and support, and runs through Jan. 10.

Why it matters

Domestic violence survivors often need immediate shelter and basic necessities, and local donations help fund those services in the Erie area. Donors can help sustain SafeNet's programming during the holiday season.

The Home for the Holidays campaign runs through Jan. 10, and both fundraisers are available only while supplies last. No fundraising goal or total raised to date has been reported.

SafeNet is a Erie-area organization that provides services for survivors of domestic violence, including a confidential 24/7 crisis hotline.

The details

Donors can support SafeNet through the Home for the Holidays campaign, which helps provide shelter, meals and basic needs, or through Cards From Kids, which offers holiday cards featuring artwork created by children. Proceeds from the card sales support families receiving SafeNet services and help fund programming and other resources.

Both fundraisers are underway as of Nov. 2, 2026.
The Home for the Holidays campaign ends Jan. 10, 2027.

Philanthropy Landscape

SafeNet's 24/7 confidential crisis hotline anchors its services, and these holiday fundraisers extend that round-the-clock model by funding shelter and basic needs. Seasonal giving campaigns like this one are a common way local domestic violence organizations raise support during the year's end.

Donors can give through SafeNetErie.org or by contacting Meghan Baker at 814-350-4501 or mbaker@safeneterie.org. Cards From Kids purchases directly fund families receiving SafeNet services while supplies last.

The takeaway

Holiday giving can directly fund shelter and basic needs for families leaving domestic violence. Donors who want to help can start with SafeNetErie.org before campaign supplies run out.
