Safe Haven Family Shelter empowers Middle Tennessee homeless families with children to achieve lasting self-sufficiency.
For over 30 years, Safe Haven has served as the only shelter-to-housing program in Middle Tennessee that accommodates homeless families. Families receive comprehensive services that empower them to achieve lasting self-sufficiency. Safe Haven’s approach is one of service, compassion, trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices.
1 in 41 people, ages 13 and over, are HIV+ in Baltimore City. In 4 zip codes, that rate is closer to 1 in 20 people. In 2006, Central Presbyterian and Grace Fellowship in Timonium were awakened to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and joined hands to respond, founding HopeSprings. Since then, HopeSprings has been equipping and engaging volunteers from 60+ churches to respond to the HIV epidemic in Baltimore serving over 16,000 hours. Through our network of churches, we train volunteers to serve our HIV infected brothers and sisters and partner with local HIV service providers such as AIRS, Moveable Feast and the JACQUES Initiative, an HIV clinic at the University of Maryland’s Institute of Human Virology. Volunteers have the opportunity to serve in many different ways including assisting in testing and linkage to care efforts, meal delivery and assistance, providing tables of people around our brothers and sisters struggling to remain in care or with medication adherence, and providing life skills and mentoring training.
Even if you are not infected, we are all affected; either way, you are loved.
The Mission of The Giving Tree is that we identify and develop adoptive families that will provide loving and stable homes for children from foster care and we ensure support to families before, during and after the adoption process.
