NOBLESVILLE, Ind. – If someone feels they’re in danger from domestic violence, they can go to one of six Ricker’s convenience store locations, reports The Associated Press, where employees are trained to call either 911 or the victim advocacy group Alternatives Inc.

The news service writes that six Ricker’s stores in Hamilton County, north of Indianapolis, have joined the Safe Haven initiative, where identifying stickers on store windows show victims of domestic violence that they can go to the convenience store for help. The program has been in place at all Ricker’s locations in adjacent Madison County since 2003.

Alternatives Inc. CEO Mary Jo Lee told the AP that program “is a life saver for victims,” adding that a woman recently came into a store and staff recognized that she was in distress and needed assistance.

For many communities, convenience stores are the only business open 24/7, serving as the only safe place that is always open in times of need.
