PROJECT SAFE: ABOUT US
Project Safe is a 501c3 non-profit organization working to end domestic violence through prevention and educational programs, crisis intervention and ognoing supportive services for survivors of domestic violence and their children, and advocacy/ systems change work in our community. Founded in Athens, GA first as a network of safe houses, and later as a confidentially located emergency shelter and hotline, Project Safe has expanded over the years to better meet the needs of those seeking to put the pain and horror of abuse behind them. Today our services range from short term crisis counseling on the hotline to long term support through our Follow Up and Transitional Housing programs. Although the majority of our clients come from Athens and the surrounding area, we’re a routing point for a national hotline, and assist women and children from across Georgia and out of state.
Our approach to the fight against domestic violence combines energy of the heart with a commitment to evaluation and attention to operational efficiencies. (See our annual report available on this website for outcome data). 92 cents of every dollar contributed to Project Safe goes to programs and services directly benefitting battered women and children. We keep overhead costs low by utilizing volunteers and student interns, seeking in-kind donations of goods and services rather than purchasing them, and sharing tasks such as answering the telephone instead of employing an office manager or administrator.
Our staff takes every opportunity to educate the public about violence against women. Our presentations range from short talks about domestic violence and local resources, to half and full day training sessions on dynamics, lethality factors and safety planning. Please call 706-549-0922 to arrange a speaker for your church group, youth group, business, civic group or classroom.

Our Commitment to Animal Welfare
Our love of animals has led us to support several animal friendly causes. Most recently, we donated to the Save the Tiger Fund in conjunction with our new product launch, Tigressa Softstyle. It was a natural fit for us to spread the word about the Save the Tiger Fund and do what we could to help save the animals whose majestic beauty inspired our new line. We have also partnered with animal welfare charities such as the American Human Society, the Canadian Federation for Human Societies and the Delta Society through the Muddiest Buddies campaigns which featured our worry-free Relax, It’s Lees carpet that is perfect for pet owners. |
A Green Commitment
In addition to providing our customers with a wide selection of Green Select products, we are also committed to taking action in our stores and communities to actively make the world a cleaner and healthier place. We feel this is an important part of being responsible citizens.
We are making a green commitment in our stores and offices by focusing on educating our employees and business partners; conserving resources and reducing waste; and encouraging recycling and green maintenance practices.
For the past three years, Carpet One Floor & Home locations throughout North America have also teamed together with their communities to clean up and beautify communities in celebration of National Green Select Day.
