Together, we can build NEW beginnings.
Empower Change Through Your Support
Safe Passage is reaching a crucial point in our journey. The demand for our help is ever-present, and now we must embark on a new beginning. We have acquired a new property in DeKalb to build a larger facility that will bring all our programs under one roof. This expansion will allow us to keep families together, offer more support, and operate more efficiently.

About Safe Passage
From the very first day of our grassroots, volunteer-led beginning, Safe Passage has been committed to the mission of supporting survivors and their loved ones while actively working to prevent future violence. We recognize the complex and interconnected needs of survivors and work to provide or connect survivors with the services they need. Our free and confidential services are available to all who need them, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, or when the abuse occurred. Everyone deserves to be safe! We currently provide the following services:
- 24/7 Crisis intervention (call: 815-756-5228/text: 815-393-1995)
- Emergency shelter
- Long-term transitional housing
- Case management
- Counseling
- Legal Advocacy
- 24/7 Medical Advocacy
- Community prevention education
- Offender Intervention Services
We’re able to provide these services because we are supported by an incredible staff, hardworking volunteers and interns, a network of compassionate community nonprofits, and our generous community. Together, we can support survivors and create a world without violence or abuse.
