Safe Families for Children

Safe Families for children is a ministry design to help families in need and offering hospitality. We are looking for families who want to open their home to children who are in need. Scriptures lead us to make room in our busy, well-protected lives to minister to others and help a stranger. By opening your home you are caring for children whose parents or guardians are struggling. For more information about Safe Families for Children, contact Pastor Olga at: [email protected]

Finding safe families for children

When a family is in crisis, kids can become vulnerable to neglect and abuse. No family should experience this. Through the Safe Families ministry, volunteer Host Families offer loving care to parents, watching over their children while the parents regain stability.

Who Are We? 

Safe Families volunteers are…

• Host Families: Screened and approved by Safe Families, Host Families take in children for short periods of time.
• Family Friends: They provide support to Families in Need (e.g., mentoring and transportation) and Host Families (e.g., babysitting and providing meals).
• Resource Friends: They provide various types of goods and services to Families in Need to help parents get back on their feet.
• Family Coaches: They are trained to provide resources and casework-like services to Families in Crisis. They also ensure that kids are well cared for in Host Family homes.
• Safe Families Churches: These are spiritual communities that support Safe Families as a ministry of their church. There are three church levels: Participating Church, Lead Church, and Community Lead Church
