Safelight Shelter

Safelight is well-known to the public for its shelter for abused individuals and their children. Our shelter is one of the largest in Western North Carolina, but we offer more than a safe place to stay. Services are available for free to survivors of abuse or violence such as domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, elder abuse and/or child abuse. Our shelter is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We have 40 beds and average 25 adults and 13 children at any given moment in time. Food, toiletries, cleaning supplies are ALWAYS needed <3

From the Listing

You can park in the loading area next to the attached resale store or briefly in front of the shelter. Ring the bell by the door labeled "Administrative Offices," and when you open the door, food can be left in the lobby.

ProducePedia

ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!

State Cooperative Extension Web Sites

The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
