Safe Families – Announcements

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: olgag@trinity-life.org

Helping families in times of crisis

When parents are going through a crisis, you can temporarily welcome their children into your home, allowing the parents to take essential steps toward stability. While the child’s stay with you is short, your impact lasts forever.

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.

How to become a host family

If you’re interested in temporarily hosting a child in need through Safe Families, this is the process you can expect.

U

Screening

Volunteer Host Families undergo a screening process—including background checks and references—and a home visit.

Placement

When a family is facing a crisis and needs short-term care for their child, you will be contacted to host the child in your home.

Reunification

Currently, 95% of all families served by Safe Families for Children are reunited, in a stable home environment.
