A Steady Connection in Crisis

For 19 years, this community partner has worked alongside SARC, helping connect people in crisis to support when it matters most.
From a 911 dispatcher’s viewpoint, advocacy and compassionate resources can change the course of a person’s life in a single moment. Programs like Adopt a Family and crisis response remind us that care doesn’t stop at safety - it includes understanding, stability, and hope.

Words can travel with us. đź’›

As part of SARC’s 50-year anniversary, we are creating a reflection space in our courtyard using engraved stones — quiet reminders of comfort, strength, and hope.

Some stones will remain in the garden. Others will be available for survivors to take with them if they choose.

We invite our community to help shape this space by sharing one word or short phrase that represents healing, safety, or resilience.

Rosanna Herrera has been part of SARC for many years, growing alongside the organization and becoming an integral part of its strength, culture, and impact.

She began as a work study student and has grown into her role as Program Director through dedication, growth, and a deep commitment to the work.

Rosanna brings energy, positivity, and encouragement to everything she does. She creates an environment where people feel supported, included, and motivated, and she approaches both her work and leadership with purpose and care.

Her ability to connect with others - clients, students, partners, and staff - has made her a trusted and respected presence across the agency.

Her presence helps shape the culture and strength of SARC every day - and that impact continues.

A Partnership That Comes Full Circle

I took the victim's advocate training almost 30 years ago with Jackie I believe. I did one training about ten or 15 years ago for advocates but have gotten so busy I have not had very much interface with SARC. We here at Riverview Counseling and Consulting (Matt and Connie Cummings) are pleased to announce we are working towards DVIT Certification and hope to partner closer with SARC as we will be coming into contact with more victims in our practice.

🎙️ 50 Years of SARC: Where It All Began
Every organization has a beginning—and SARC’s started with people who saw a need in our community and believed victims deserved support, advocacy, and a place to turn.

As part of our 50th Anniversary, we’re launching a special podcast series to share the stories behind SARC: where we started, how the work has changed, the people who helped shape it, and why this mission continues to matter today.

In our first episode, Rosanna Herrera sits down with Executive Director JoDee Garretson to talk about why SARC exists and reflect on 50 years of serving our community.
đź’™ Fifty years of advocacy.
đź’™ Fifty years of showing up.
đź’™ Fifty years of believing victims deserve to be heard, supported, and empowered.
And there are so many stories still to tell.

🎧 Watch our first episode and join us as we look back at where SARC has been—and ahead to where we’re going.
