“In the midst of darkness, light exists.” -Mahatma Gandhi The Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center (SPARCC) is a State Certified Non-Profit supporting Sarasota and Desoto Counties with Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services. This organization is vital in treating victims and supporting social work, while prioritizing social change through community awareness, education and prevention programs. As an unrestricted donation to SPARCC, the organization can use these dollars to fund areas with the most need within the organization. In this case, Executive Director Jessica Hays shared some real world examples and these funds will likely support one of the following: 50 counseling session for victims to promote hope and healing 125 sexual assault kits to provide to daily victims in need of care 20 nights of shelter for mothers and children affected by domestic violence 75 initial crisis intervention services for clients to create support programs Walking through the halls of SPARCC is an eye-opening experience. They offer confidentiality and support to men, women and children living in what might be the darkest parts of their lives. It is definitely not easy work, but it’s some of the most important work being done in our community. There are numerous ways to get involved and support SPARCC and their mission.
