What does Wrap the Poles Purple look like? 💜

Here's some pictures from last year!

Join SafeNet and the Erie Police Department in wrapping every third pole with a purple ribbon on October 1st! We will begin wrapping at 10 AM, and need plenty of help! ☺️

Don't let anyone dim your sparkle. Shine on! 🌞

Today's fact focuses on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD.)
Do you know the signs and symptoms of PTSD?
They may include:

- Being easily startled
- Feeling emotionally numb or detached

🔎 We're looking for artists!

Our art show is coming up on October 2nd. We are searching for artists that would like to showcase their work!

The art show will highlight work inspired by hope, healing, resilience, and the experiences of individuals and families affected by domestic violence. SafeNet welcomes a range of creative expressions, including paintings, drawings, photography, poetry, and other meaningful artwork. 🎨

Pieces can be dropped off at 1702 French Street.

Good morning, humans!
It’s Poppie, your favorite SafeNet employee! 💜

I’ve found a new role I enjoy just about as much as cuddling: receptionist! No task is too big or too small for this Chief Feline Officer! 😼

Haven’t quite mastered the whole “answering phones” thing (it’s hard without hands) but I’m sure I’ll pick it up in no time! (pun intended) 📞

See ya soon! 🐾

Good morning from Pfeiffer-Burleigh Elementary! 🌞 We stopped by for their Community Resource Fair and had a wonderful time meeting some amazing families!

A BIG Congratulations to Amy Blackman, the new Executive Director of the Crime Victim Center of Erie County! ⭐️

Robyn, Executive Director of SafeNet, congratulated Amy on Friday at CVC’s Roar Against Crime!

Our Candlelight Vigil is coming soon! Please join us for the Vigil and Art Show on October 2, at 6 PM. 💜🕯
