Join us for our Steps to Safety Walk/Run to bring more awareness to the issues domestic and sexual violence. Our sponsors and participants contribute to our mission and support us in providing life-saving services to victims and survivors in our community. Your support changes lives!

Due to Covid restrictions and necessary precautions around the Delta variant, we are no longer able to host the in-person portion of the event. The virtual portion of the event continues as planned! We hope you will join us for the 2021 Steps to Safety Virtual Walk/Run!

Our programs and services inform survivors of their options and support them in their choices. A cornerstone of our philosophy is respect for the rights of all survivors. Our agency offers a 24-hour hotline, emergency shelter, community education, and outreach.

All proceeds benefit the Center for Hope & Safety and the Marion County Domestic Violence Council.
