Donations & Wishlists
Safe Place of Eastern South Dakota relies on donations to our domestic violence shelter to protect and support victims and survivors of abuse. Your donations help us provide a sense of security, safety, and community.
Big News: We’re Moving! Physical Donations on Pause until July 31st
We’re getting ready to relocate to our new space at 1600 North Kimball, which means we will pause accepting physical donations from June 7th to July 31st.
How to help: During this transition, we’re asking for monetary donations or giftcards to Walmart or County Fair, so we can purchase essential items and toiletries directly.
Monetary donations can still be mailed or dropped off at 1809 North Wisconsin Street.

Safe Place Survivor Stories:
“I met my boyfriend when I was 14. What started as an attentive, protective relationship eventually became controlling and abusive. Throughout our time together, which included the birth of our three children, he gradually became more violent toward me, and eventually our children. When I finally connected with Safe Place, I was able to leave the situation and move into the shelter and then an apartment. At Safe Place, my boyfriend participated in the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project, and he also suggested that we take a parenting class together. He has continued to put in the work to change, and our relationship is in a much better place now.”
