Safe Place Network is a solidarity framework for providing safe homely places.

Safe Place Network is a solidarity framework for providing safe and welcoming places to those who need most.

Charity can be done in many different ways but Safe Place Network emphasis direct contact and sharing. SPN wishes to remove or diminish the gap between giver and receiver of service by making it a familiar affair in a homely setting.

The idea to have a sign on a building designated as a safe place is not new but with SPN that sign can virtually be anywhere there is a home with a host available for a warm welcome. There are already several hospitality networks and Safe Place Network can be included as a day time casual hospitality network.

Hospitality is part of human culture. It is considered sacred in certain places where the guest is received as messenger of God . In those places a warm plate of food is always cooked extra in the eventuality that such guest appears at the door unannounced. Today the opportunity to give rest and refreshments to a person or a family in distress is becoming greater and greater. Thousands of homeless people are there and potentially more will be in the same condition. Virtually any initiative can help and SPN wishes to be one of them.
