S.O.S "Survivor Outreach Support"

08/21/2026

The Cocoon is pleased to share that, thanks in part to funding from Wood County Hospital, we can arrange free rides for survivors of sexual assault to and from area medical facilities within a 30 mile radius. Rides are provided by trauma-informed drivers from Ziggy Zooms.

Survivors who need a ride must call The Cocoon’s hotline at 419-373-1730, option 2. An advocate will contact Ziggy Zooms to arrange transportation. This service is available 24/7 to any survivor of sexual assault, including BGSU students, faculty, and staff, as well as community members.
