Celebrating 40 years of Frankie Fowler
Over the last four decades, Frankie Fowler has provided more than 26,650 hours of volunteer services to countless survivors and community members through her work for SAFE. We cannot thank Frankie enough for her longstanding commitment to SAFE and the Austin community.
Frankie started as a volunteer with SafePlace in 1981, and since then has dedicated thousands of volunteer hours to supporting SAFE’s many programs, including answering hotline calls, educating kids in the Expect Respect program, and most recently representing SAFE at community education events.
Frankie has also been a long time donor to SAFE, and has been giving regular monthly donations for over a decade. Thank you Frankie for your extraordinary support of SAFE and the people we serve! We love you!
