Our Story

What began as a group of dedicated volunteers running a helpline out of their own homes has become a safe haven where victims become survivors.

SARC was established in 1978 after a year-long, grassroots effort by Harford County residents reacting to a lack of services and support for victims of sexual violence. Their focus very quickly included victims of domestic violence whose presence in Harford County was consistent with the national numbers at that time. The Harford County Commission for Women was instrumental in arranging funding for the new center. In the spring of 1978, funds from a federal grant, a state grant, and the county made it possible to open the center in the Community Services Building in Aberdeen, Maryland. The existing hotline service was merged with the r**e crisis/battered spouse hotline and was covered by trained volunteers.

SARC has grown to include services for victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking, child abuse, and trafficking. Services include legal advocacy and representation,counseling for children and adults, crisis intervention, a 28 bed confidentially located shelter, 24 Hour Helpline, Hospital Companion program, a food and hygiene pantry, and community outreach and education services.

We continue to grow with the support of the community who yearn for a future free from abuse. We believe in a future free from fear; and we know that together, we can make this dream a reality as we help clients on the journey from victim to survivor.
