💙Safe Harbor Children’s Advocacy Center provides a Lifeline to victims of child abuse and neglect, and each year during our 18th Annual Lifeline Gala, we have the privilege of granting three – one within each county we serve. We couldn't do the work we do every day without these individuals. 💙

✨This award honors Trooper Ray Hoffman, who provided a daily example of how to advocate for child victims. ✨He encouraged others to strive for excellence in this work. Child abuse cases require careful and thorough investigations and prosecutions and take a toll on those of us who work in this field.

🎉Congratulations to Allegan County's Detective Rob Flokstra, Barry County's Kayla Wickham and Van Buren County's Assistant Prosecutor Rachel Keeley! 🎉

💙 Speaking up takes courage. When a child shares abuse, listening and believing protects them and shows they are not alone.

💙✨Thank you to all the sponsors, donors and attendees of our 18th Annual Lifeline Gala last night! With more than 250 people in attendance, our community rallied to show its support of children who are victims of abuse and neglect. Safe Harbor showcased what it means to have a CASA (court appointed special advocate) volunteer programs within Allegan and Van Buren counties. Lauryn Chapman “unlocked” a Kate Spade handbag, 👛and we had 28 raffle packages, thanks to support from our board members and local businesses! 🗳

Our Buttons for Bravery auction raised nearly $35,000 – all funds that will stay local to help the kids in Allegan, Barry and Van Buren counties.

Every child deserves someone in their corner. Children in the child welfare system often face uncertainty and change but you can be a caring presence and a steady voice. As a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer, you get to know a child, understand their story, and speak up for their best interests.

Take the first step in making a difference by reaching out to our CASA Recruitment and Training Manager, Michele, at [email protected] or by phone at 269-673-3791 to learn how you can become a CASA volunteer serving children in Allegan and Van Buren Counties.
