Safe Families for Children exists to surround families facing crisis in isolation with compassionate volunteers providing relationships and resources.
What is Safe Families for Children?
In the past, when a family experienced a crisis such as job loss, hospitalization, divorce, or even homelessness, extended family or neighbors helped them by caring for their children for short periods of time. Today, however, many families are socially isolated, and their extended family is nonexistent or unable to help. That’s where Safe Families for Children comes in.
Safe Families for Children aims to prevent child abuse and neglect, reduce the number of children entering the child welfare system, and support and stabilize families. To learn more about HOW, please visit our website.
Current Needs
- More volunteers for our Circle of Support – We all have seasons where we can open our hearts and homes and conversely times when we are not able. With a large Circle of Support there is always someone available when a crisis arises. We are currently in need of more Family Coaches, Host Families, and Family Friends.
- Financially Support Safe Families – A small monthly donation or a one time gift can go a long way in keeping children safe and families intact. Use this link and click on the “Donate Online” box.
