Safe Families for Children is a volunteer movement that provides support to families in crisis through temporary hosting of children and support to parents

Safe Families for Children hosts vulnerable children and creates extended family-like supports for desperate families through a community of compassionate volunteers motivated by their faith to keep children safe and ultimately together with their families. Safe Families for Children has three desired outcomes:
1. Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect

Family preservation refers to the ways we can keep families together and help them thrive.

By offering family‑focused prevention for parents facing crisis, the goal is simple and powerful: strengthen parenting, stabilize family functioning, keep children safely at home, and prevent unnecessary involvement in foster care.

Many families, even when doing ‘all the right things,’ are just one crisis away from major instability in their lives. Under-resourced communities leave families in the throes of hospitalization, unemployment, incarceration, substance abuse recovery, and other crises related to poverty without the resources and support to care for their children.

Every day, families wake up to a crisis they cannot handle, and their ability to both weather the storm and protect their children is threatened. Safe Families for Children (SFFC) was founded to solve this problem. We want to be that extended family when parents need us the most!

At Safe Families, we believe relationships are key in supporting families facing crisis. While resources are vital for families navigating difficult circumstances, it is also important for families to know they are not alone!

Walking alongside families means providing both a network of resources and relationships that give isolated parents hope, connection, and belonging. To find out more about supporting families, check out our website at https://bit.ly/4rlD8M2 to learn more!

God is stirring His people to care for vulnerable children and isolated families. And YOU are part of this great mission! Together we long to see the Body of Christ working together so family is alone and living without the support they need for their children to thrive!🌱

“We initially embarked on this journey with Safe Families to serve God and build empathy towards others. What God rewarded us with is the blessing of knowing Lily and her family. She has blessed our family in ways we never could have imagined."

"As is so often seen, serving the Lord is rewarded in ways that are so unexpected and so above any expectations. We are eternally grateful to Safe Families for this ministry and such a tremendous opportunity." The Cassidy Host Family

Safe Families Core Values define who we are as an organization and how we treat each other, the families we support, volunteers, and partners. When we put them into action they create our culture.

Radical Hospitality means welcome strangers into our homes and our lives to find hope, rest, and healing. We work to create space, maintain a welcoming stance and invite others to use their skills to serve others and grow the movement.

Social isolation shouldn't mean separation!

Parents want the best for their children, but sometimes they lack the financial resources and physical support of a reliable community to help in a crisis, leaving children vulnerable and families isolated.

Safe Families for Children is a family-focused support movement committed to serving parents by providing a caring, compassionate community to walk alongside them when they need it most.

Every family needs a family to count on! For more information, visit our website at https://safe-families.org/ to get involved in helping keep children safe and families together!
