I posted about Safe Harbor and their annual “Rites of Spring” event last year. At the time the main house was the only facility I saw where children are sheltered and cared for having been in an abusive or threatening situation.
Now it is my pleasure to show you the Hamer House. Named after the family that founded Safe Harbor in Brunswick, this sweet home has been fully renovated by a special group of volunteers. The interior is so well designed, I felt like I was in a model home!
The kitchen….oh that kitchen! I can just see the children gathered around the huge island, helping prepare their evening meal and discussing the day.
The library/study area is the perfect place to do homework and get special help from tutors who so selflessly volunteer their time.
Each of the three bedrooms is as cute as can be.
All of the attention to detail in creating the nautical theme shows. And you may be interested to know that the furnishing, clothing and food for this home have all been donated. The giving nature of people throughout Coastal Georgia never ceases to amaze me. Whether I’m talking with the Humane Society about animal adoption or places that shelter and help children and the homeless, the hearts of our community open and give in very special ways.
Something that is needed at Safe Harbor right now is a large storage shed! I’m saying a special prayer for this one!
Safe Harbor is a beacon of light in our community. Innocent children are protected, nurtured and loved in a warm atmosphere that offers them a home. Won’t you think of Safe Harbor when you begin spring cleaning this year and save clothes, toys, books and other household items that can be used there?

Thank you for posting about this..all children deserve a safe and loving environment. I am going to approach the membership for our local MOMS Club and see if we can make a donation towards the shed. We are a local non profit that helps supports moms and kiddos and I think this would be a worthy cause our membership would embrace. Thanks for bringing it to our attention 😉

Lori, thank you so much for your kind words. Being able to let our community know about Safe Harbor and the various other organizations and groups that help others is one of my primary goals with this blog.
I’d love to know more about the MOMS club when you have a chance!
