ABOUT A SAFE PLACE

Founded in 1978, A Safe Place is the leading advocate for eliminating domestic violence in northern Illinois, and is Lake County, Illinois’ only provider of services exclusively for victims of domestic violence.

A Safe Place provides emergency shelter, affordable housing, court advocacy, and individual and group supportive services to survivors of domestic violence and their children; educational programs for the community; and intervention services for abusers to learn accountability for their choices and actions. Last year, A Safe Place served more than 14,000 adults and children.

Serving individuals from the North Shore, Northern Illinois, and beyond, we offer lifesaving programs, arrange for safe living spaces, and help families transform their lives after domestic violence. Events like these ensure that we can continue to provide for those most fragile in our communities.

Wine Women & Shoes is a fundraising organization that creates events centered on luxury fashion, fine wines and charities in need. Over the last 10 years, they helped raise about $20 million for various women and family-related causes through the execution of over 175 well-attended events across the country.
