Sign-A-Rama Continues It's Generosity to Safe Haven
 Back in the Fall of 2005, shortly after we purchased our 13.5 acres on Shingle Point Road in Georgetown, Sign-A-Rama decided we needed a permanent 8’ sign to mark our location. Knowing our financial situation, they donated the sign and labor necessary to put it in place. Sign-A-Rama continues to go the extra mile for our organization through their constant donation of many signs associated with our various events.

 Katie and Gwen, co-owners of Sign-A-Rama, also arrange art work, production and ordering of our t-shirts at no cost to us. They have, for the past year, been doing the same thing with Safe Haven sweatshirts. There is a very small profit on the sweatshirts and Katie and Gwen donate that back to Safe Haven. They are pictured below doing this.
