As of Monday, May 11th, Sarah's Friends' office has officially reopened following new safety measurers to continue to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
In order to limit the number of individuals in the office at one time, we do encourage you to please make an appointment, if able. We are also limiting emotional support individuals to only (1) per survivor when absolutely necessary to provide comfort when accessing services. If you have other means for childcare, please utilize those means to lessen the amount of children who come through the office. All individuals will be required to wear a mask and maintain the recommended 6' practice of social distancing.
At this time, we are not accepting donated goods, but will continue to provide updates as we safely structure that receiving process.
