Video: Hope Harbor, Who We Are by Sublime Media
In 1985, two survivors got together to offer free, confidential services to survivors of sexual assault. With a 24/7 crisis support line and emergency advocacy, volunteers created Rape Crisis and Prevention Center. Fast forward, they got a building of their own at 913 Broadway Ave and changed the name to Hope Harbor, the services expanded to providing counseling, legal advocacy, and community education programs. We are reminded every day the need for the free services provided by Hope Harbor to survivors of sexual assault, their loved ones, and our community at large. Starting this September, we ask for your continued support in our work to offer help and end sexual violence. It is only because of a community that will not accept violence as the norm that we are able to keep up with the demand for our services.
