Who are we?

Founded in 2003, Safe Families for Children is fueled by radical hospitality, disruptive generosity, and intentional compassion. Oftentimes, children are on the edge of entering foster care, and susceptible to neglect or abuse. Safe Families steps in and provides families and children with a circle of support in various ways! Our goals are to prevent child neglect, reduce the number of children entering the child welfare system, and support families in their time of need.

TOGETHER we can create meaningful and supportive relationships that strengthen our Families & Community!
