About Betty Griffin Center
The Betty Griffin Center was founded in 1990 by concerned citizens and incorporated as the Safety Shelter of
St. Johns County to develop plans to provide shelter for local victims of domestic violence and their children. In
1992, the nonprofit agency contracted with a local motel for space and started a 24-hour crisis line and court
advocacy program. By 1994, the agency purchased and opened Betty Griffin House as permanent shelter. The
shelter was expanded in 1998 to meet local demand, and sexual assault program was added the same year.
Today, Betty Griffin Center shelters 250 to 350 victims of domestic and sexual abuse annually, operates a 24-
hour crisis helpline, provides professional counseling for victims of domestic and sexual abuse, provides age appropriate violence prevention training and also operates two thrift stores at Julington Square and Anastasia
Square to assist in funding the agency’s ongoing operations.

you know is being abused, call the Betty Griffin Center 24-hour helpline at (904) 824-1555.
