Safe Shores – The DC Children’s Advocacy Center is committed to being a safe, helpful, and trustworthy resource, available to everyone who needs our services and support. Due to COVID-19, we are operating in a hybrid environment – combining in-person and remote work – and observing federal and local government public health protection guidelines. Masks are required on-site, and COVID-19 screening (questions and temperature check) is conducted upon arrival.

We want Safe Shores’ people and resources to be readily accessible to everyone who needs them. Here are the direct points of contact on our team for forensic interviews, mental health support, client advocacy, MDT matters, child abuse prevention training, fundraising, media, as well as general, non-urgent inquires.

To report suspected child abuse in the District of Columbia call 1-202-671-SAFE(7233)

In-Kind Donations During the Coronavirus Pandemic

Responding to Clients’ Needs in New Ways

As Safe Shores continues to prioritize the health and safety of our community, for the time being we are not able to receive in-kind donations in person. There are still ways to help, though, for those who’d like to provide direct support for our clients. Safe Shores’ Amazon Wish List link is up to date and offers donors a way year-round to help meet the needs of the children and families we serve.

We greatly appreciate your understanding and continued support during this unprecedented time. If you have questions or would like more information about how to help, please email givetoachild@safeshores.org.
