SAFE Announces Janice T. Knight Memorial Fund

Five months ago, our community rallied in memory of Janice T. Knight, the mother of our Founder, Jen Knight - supporting SAFE in honor of her life and legacy. That extraordinary generosity was a powerful reminder that, together, we can provide comfort, healing, and hope when it is needed most.

Today, we wanted to share something special.

The outpouring of support in Janice's memory deeply touched her sister, Susan Kelley-Outten.  Inspired by the compassion of friends, family, and supporters like you, Susan has established the Janice T. Knight Memorial Fund at SAFE.

This fund ensures that Janice's legacy of kindness, generosity, and love will continue to make a difference for years to come. What began as a beautiful tribute has now become a lasting source of support for SAFE's mission. This fund honors the life and legacy of Janice by supporting mothers and those in caretaking roles through compassion, connection, and community care. Through direct assistance, education, and advocacy, we strive to provide hope, stability, and opportunities for families facing hardship.

Gifts made to the Janice T. Knight Memorial Fund between now and June 30th will be doubled by Susan.
