As our community is faced with an undoubtedly difficult time, Safe Crossings Foundation wants you to know that we are here for you. The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought much anxiety and uncertainty to our everyday lives. Social distancing can be a struggle for some, especially children who do not always know what is going on around them; we encourage our community to reach out to friends and loved ones. When we can’t give a hug, make a call, send a text, write a card, let others know that they are not alone.
If you are in need of grief support or other services, take a look at our list of resources below and feel free to reach out to us at info@safecrossingsfoundation.org
