Sarah’s Friends, established in April 1991, began as a safe haven for child victims of abuse in Williams County, providing a secure and compassionate setting for coordinated interviews designed to reduce further trauma. As community needs evolved, the organization broadened its mission to focus on prevention, education, intervention, and comprehensive victim assistance, ultimately expanding its commitment to empower survivors of domestic violence and crime to heal emotionally, physically, and spiritually. All services are provided free of charge and remain strictly confidential to ensure safety and trust.

Today, Sarah’s Friends offers advocacy, financial assistance, referrals to local resources, and transitional housing support for individuals and families escaping unsafe environments. Through professional training, community education, mentoring programs, and support groups for both children and adults, the organization continues to strengthen families, promote resilience, and foster a safer Williams County community.
