Walking for Peace: Project SAF in Hopewell

Posted: April 12, 2025 | Author: Real Life Staff
Our Project SAF (Safe, Alive, and Free) team recently did a peace walk on Sunnyside Ave in Hopewell. Their mission? To offer comfort, connection, and access to critical services in the wake of community violence.

In just one walk, the team reached 88 homes—building trust and sharing hope with residents impacted by gun violence.

Mike M., our Violence Prevention Initiative (VPI) Coordinator and Employment Navigator, shared: “I spoke with residents of Hopewell who all appreciated the visit and expressed their thanks for REAL LIFE’s services. It’s apparent that gun violence takes a toll on their community and our presence was welcomed after stating the mission of Project SAF.”

We’re proud to walk alongside our neighbors, helping to create safer, stronger communities—one step at a time.
