Safe Families for Children
Start making a difference in the lives of a family in need TODAY
Families need you!
Got kids? Do you know that trusted friend, neighbor, or family member that you call when you need a little help? There are many families in our community who don't have a person like that. So what can they do when transportation or childcare needs arise? Who do they call if a health, financial, or some other crisis happens?
That's where our Safe Families team members step in. Our goal is to demonstrate love and kindness by providing safe environments for the children of families who have no one else to turn to. Families can help out for an afternoon at a time, or serve as a host family for longer-term needs. Check out this video of two of our team members.
