The 2024 Trees & Lights Gala will raise support for Safe Embrace’s work to end the cycle of domestic and sexual violence through the organization’s prevention and intervention services, including advocacy and education programs within the community and immediate guidance and resources for those attempting to escape from violent or harmful circumstances or individuals. In a typical year, Safe Embrace serves more than 30 individuals with evacuation transportation, hosts clients with nearly 200 emergency motel nights, and accommodates victims with an estimated 6,600 nights in the nonprofit’s safe house.
