Letter from the Director


We are proud to share the continued growth and progress happening at Safe Harbor. Over the past several months, we have celebrated multiple program graduations. Men who have committed to change and are now stepping forward into a new chapter of life with purpose and sobriety.


Our outreach efforts have remained strong. We had the opportunity to serve the community by partnering with Project 615 to help feed the homeless, reinforcing the importance of giving back and staying connected to those in need. Additionally, we were blessed with a generous donation of 24 desks for our chapel, enhancing our space for learning, worship, and fellowship.


Our team has also been active in outreach at the Hickman County Jail, continuing to bring hope and encouragement to those who are still struggling. These visits are a vital part of our mission, showing others that transformation is possible.


We believe strongly in helping our men learn how to live and enjoy life in sobriety. This month, we attended the Winter Jam Christian concert, as well as several wrestling events in Waverly. These outings are intentional, teaching our men how to engage in social environments, have fun, and build healthy experiences without substance use.


Community responsibility remains a core value at Safe Harbor. Through our Adopt-A-Road program, our men have been actively participating in keeping our county clean, demonstrating pride in both themselves and their environment.


We have also stayed connected with local churches, attending multiple events throughout January. One of the most powerful highlights has been witnessing 9 baptisms, an incredible testament to the spiritual growth taking place within our program.


We are grateful for the continued support from our community and partners. Lives are being changed daily, and we remain committed to providing structure, faith, and opportunity for every man who walks through our doors.

Partner of the Quarter - Kolpak


This quarter, we are proud to recognize Kolpak as our Partner of the Quarter.


Kolpak has continued to be a steady and dependable partner, providing consistent opportunities for our clients to gain meaningful employment and rebuild stability. Their team has shown a strong commitment to not just production, but to people, creating an environment where individuals are given a real chance to succeed.


Throughout the first quarter of 2026, Kolpak has played an important role in helping our clients transition back into the workforce. Their willingness to work with our program, communicate effectively, and support our placements has made a measurable impact on the lives of the men we serve.


What sets Kolpak apart is their consistency and professionalism. The team at this partner company is unmatched. They understand the value of structure, accountability, and second chances, and they demonstrate that through their ongoing partnership with Safe Harbor.


We are grateful for their continued support and look forward to growing this partnership even further in the months ahead.


Thank you, Kolpak, for being a vital part of changing lives and strengthening our community.

Reliable Coordinator- Safe Harbor of Bucksnort

Client of the Quarter - J.C.


"Before Safe Harbor, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I felt lost and without direction. When I got placed at Nemak, it gave me structure and something to commit to.


After a while, I became a driver and that is opening up the door for more responsibility. I keep showing up, staying consistent and am working my way up to one day becoming staff after I graduate.


Safe Harbor didn’t just give me a job, it gave me direction. It helped me grow into someone who can lead, and it showed me there’s a bigger calling on my life."

Staff of the Quarter - Frankie Tyler

We are proud to recognize Mr. Frankie Tyler as our Employee of the Quarter.


Frankie’s journey is a powerful example of transformation and dedication. Having come through the Safe Harbor program himself, he has demonstrated what it truly means to commit to a new way of life. Starting in maintenance, Frankie consistently showed a strong work ethic, humility, and a willingness to grow.


Through his faith and commitment to living his life through Christ, he has steadily advanced within the organization. Today, we are proud to announce his promotion to Program Coordinator.


In this new role, Frankie continues to lead by example, showing our clients that real change is possible. His ability to connect, encourage, and hold others accountable makes him a valuable asset to our team and a positive force within the program.


We are blessed to have Frankie Tyler serving in this leadership position, and we look forward to all the great things ahead for him and the men he impacts daily.
