About Safe Harbors
Our program began with a desk in the basement of the county courthouse and an operating budget of $12.
Since our humble beginnings, Safe Harbors has been a grassroots, non-profit agency that serves victims of intimate partner violence in Wallowa County, Oregon.
​
Today, we provided crisis intervention and advocacy services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, dating violence, and stalking, as well as community education and outreach. We approach all our work through a survivor-centered lens. We strive to serve the most marginalized in our community, and to work towards a safer and more equitable future for all.
