Mission Statement

Safe Families for Children hosts vulnerable children and creates extended family-like supports for families through a community of devoted volunteers who are motivated by compassion to keep children safe and families intact.

Description

Founded in 2003, Safe Families for Children surrounds families facing a crisis with caring, compassionate community. We are a volunteer-driven nonprofit that provides hope and support to families in our local communities. Located in 70 cities across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and beyond, we are motivated by faith to keep children safe and families together.

In many situations, parents or guardians may be challenged in providing a safe and caring environment for their children, putting them at risk of abuse and neglect. In the past, extended family or neighbors stepped in to help families in crisis by caring for their children for short periods of time.

Today, however, many families are socially isolated, and their extended family is nonexistent, or unavailable or unable to help. Adding to the problem is the fact that most state child welfare agencies are required under law to intervene only those children who suffer blatant abuse or neglect, leaving thousands of children at risk.

Safe Families for Children keeps families together. Research shows that children who grow up in their own families leads to better outcomes in terms of sense of identity, educational attainment, overall stability, and employment.

Vision

Creating a world where children are safe and families transformed through radically compassionate communities.
