Had a couple inquiries, a few people take down our information, and had several people learn and get educated about foster care which is a major win. Can’t wait to come out again in September 2026! Stay tuned for a date and time 💙

Kinship caregivers bring consistency and commitment to the children in their lives. They manage school meetings, appointments, and daily routines while preserving the family connections children rely on. Many take on this role unexpectedly, navigating it alongside their own work and personal responsibilities.

This National Kinship Care Month, we recognize the commitment kinship caregivers bring to the children and families in their lives. Their dedication strengthens the communities we all share.

Rise and Shine ☀️💙

Check out members of our amazing SAFY of Greenville team attending the 8th Annual Human Trafficking Seminar!

Knowledge and collaboration are powerful tools in protecting the youth and families we serve. By staying informed, recognizing warning signs, and sharing what we learn across SAFY, we strengthen our ability to advocate, support, and respond when it matters most.

Proud of our Greenville team for continuing to learn, grow, and lead! 💙

Preserving Families. Securing Futures

Supporting kinship caregivers is a shared community responsibility.

There are many ways to be part of a child's network of support: mentoring a young person, advocating for family-strengthening services, or simply being a trusted presence in the life of a child or caregiver navigating a difficult time.

SAFY works alongside kinship caregivers by providing resources, education, and consistent support to help children experience safety, stability, and belonging. Positive outcomes happen when communities, caregivers, and partners work together.

The village is bigger than most people think.

There isn’t one “right way” to help children and families involved in foster care.

From mentorship to respite care, all support matters and contributes to supporting our communities. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to help, but…” we might have an answer for you.

Sometimes the most meaningful support is also the most ordinary. How can you support youth in foster care and the foster families that care for them?
