SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center, Inc. is a private 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of children who have been abused. SafePath's mission is to reduce the trauma to children and their families by offering a comprehensive, professional, and child-friendly approach to the allegations of child abuse.   By bringing together a collaborative team of professionals from law enforcement, the district attorney's office, therapists, healthcare professions, Child Protection Services, and other agencies, SafePath is able to provide unique services for children in the Cobb County community at a centralized location. This worthy and much-needed organization relies on the support and commitment of many foundations, corporations, individuals, grantors and community partners in order to make a difference in the lives of children and help to build a community free of child abuse.

“As homebuilders, we are a family-focused company,” explains Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods’ President and CEO, Gregg Goldenberg. “Many of our marketing materials are representative of our homeowners and feature photos of happy, smiling families. SafePath teaches us that not all families fit that ‘picture perfect’ mold, and many are right here in our backyard. In turn, organizations like SafePath depend upon the generosity of the surrounding community to support their daily operations. Acadia is honored to serve as a sponsor to events like ‘Good Eatin’, Great Cause’ and ‘Hearing Children’s Voices’ to help raise awareness about child abuse, while raising funds for SafePath Children’s Advocacy Center.”

Thanks to sponsorships from companies like Acadia Homes & Neighborhoods, SafePath is able to provide the necessary services to child abuse victims and their families at no cost.  In addition to grants from foundations and donations from individuals, corporations and community partners, SafePath plays host to two special events to raise funds and awareness to support their commendable cause.
