TODAY!

The quickest and most effective way to make an impact at Safe 'N Sound is to donate money. This allows us to fund programs and projects. We can purchase items we need as we need them.

Alternatively, we post a needs list to Facebook each month of items to donate, or we also have our Amazon list that is updated as necessary.

VOLUNTEER TO MAKE AN IMPACT.

Consider donating your time! We're always looking for people as one-time volunteers, weekly volunteers, and people/companies to host events and donation drives in support of Safe 'N Sound.

For regular weekly volunteers tasks could include; laundry, cutting hair, cleaning, making breakfast, running errands, doing an activity with participants. It really depends on what your skills are and what you are interested in.
