Become a safe home
What is the Safe Home Program?
It’s simple: the Safe Home program lets young people know that they’re safe in your home. No matter what scary or dangerous things are going on in their own home, all they need to do to feel safe is to walk in your door! A Safe Home has no drugs or alcohol, no underage drinking, no firearms left unlocked or within reach of young hands. Most important, young people in a Safe Home will never be left unattended!
A Safe Home is where:
- Illegal Drug and Marijuana use does not take place.
- No alcohol will be consumed by or accessible to youth.
- Prescription medicines are put in a safe and secure place and are not accessible to youth.
- Firearms will be locked in a secure place.
- Youths will not be left unattended.
How can I be a part?
Stop at our table at one of the community events we participate in. OR, complete the form attached, sign the pledge, and we’ll register you! Then all you need to do is place a Safe Home logo in your window, and be ready to open your door and be of help!

THE SAFE HOME PLEDGE
“Because I care about our community, I pledge to offer the safety of my alcohol- and drug-free home to all who need shelter from the storm of substance abuse, domestic violence or neglect. I promise to keep firearms in a safe and locked location. And I promise to never allow underage drinking in my home, and to never leave a young person unattended.”
