Safe Families for Children is a movement of the church to keep children safe and families together. We connect church and community, mobilizing an army of volunteers to provide family-like support for families facing difficult circumstances and lacking a social support network.
A volunteer who provides support to families facing social isolation (i.e. mentoring, temporary transportation while looking for permanent solution, a listening ear, and friendship) and support to Host Families.
Skilled volunteers who help families reach their goals. Family Coaches also provide support to Family Friends and Host Families.
Host Families voluntarily take in children for short periods of time. They are screened and approved by our staff.
This congregation member ensures that the Safe Family ministry is part of the church’s outreach or compassion structure.
A volunteer who provides tangible support through goods and services for Host Families and other volunteers. Goods could include cribs, clothing, strollers, etc. Services could be healthcare, day care providers, or mechanical work, for instance.
