How it works...
Safe Families equips local volunteers to provide informal, family-like support to families experiencing a crisis. Our goal is to see families strengthened and supported by their community. With a community of support, we believe children can be safe and families remain intact.
Circle of Support
Family Coaches connect families with volunteers and facilitate the serving in the Circle of Support.
Family Friends encourage and support parents in crisis through friendship, hot meals, babysitting, transportation, etc.
Host Families are screened and approved by SFFC to host children in their homes for short periods of time.
Resource Friends provide goods and services to meet immediate needs.
