Each year 600 survivors of sexual assault turn to SAC to begin a journey of healing. In order to help these survivors heal, we must provide the support they need, regardless of their ability to pay. We continue to prove that the support we provide helps victims of sexual assault heal. It helps them recover. It helps them move on. It helps turn victims into survivors. This holiday season, we ask that you please consider donating to the Sexual Assault Center as we have set a fundraising goal of $20,000. This amount will help continue to change the lives of these men, women, and children who seek our help every day. Please click the donate now button and help us and give the gift of hope this holiday season.
