QuikTrip stores provide such a place.
Getting runaways and youth in trouble off the street and on to help is the goal of Safe Place, an organization QuikTrip began working with in 1991. The program is now in place in every market in which QuikTrip operates. Store employees get the youth something to eat and drink, while a volunteer is called to pick them up at the store and take them either to get professional help or to a place to stay until their situation can be resolved. QuikTrip also provides substantial financial support to the agencies where Safe Place volunteers are trained.
