I have been on the board of Project Safe for three years. It is by far one of the most well-run, organized, and respected nonprofit in my immediate area, and I am so proud to be a part of it. I have seen the wonderful things that this organization has done in the lives of some close friends who are survivors of domestic violence. They say that they and their children may not still be alive if it were not for the staff members and volunteers at Project Safe. Executive Director Joan Prittie works tirelessly to do what is best for clients, and continues to amaze us all with her creative fundraising ideas. She is a wonderful steward of the organization's funds, and does her best to make sure the organization lives off of donated goods and services so that all money raised can go directly to helping victims in Athens and the surrounding areas. I can't say enough about this amazing group and the positives effects that it has on our community!
