Feeling alone? Parenting shouldn’t be done in isolation; it takes a village. Let us be yours!💙

Social support consists of social relationships that provide material and interpersonal resources that are of value to a recipient. These social supports act as protective factors and stress buffers, alleviating isolation and lack of relationships to help parents get back on their feet.

The success of Safe Families depends on balancing compassion with accountability so that parents experience both unconditional support and opportunities for growth!

Everyone can do something, no matter how small you are or how big the bottle is! Just say yes to the simple opportunities around you, even if it is something you have never tried before.

Whether you want to host children, support parents, provide resources, or donate to meet the chapter's financial needs, we believe there is a role for everyone to help keep children safe and families together.

In 2025, Safe Families for Children (SFFC) had a U.S. economic impact of $135,407,000 in resources by avoiding the need for foster care involvement. Placing a child into foster care is exceptionally costly, and the long-term societal toll of unaddressed family crises is astronomical. This is an amazing saving to the taxpayer with less child trauma and family separation.

Investing in prevention yields massive returns, saving state and federal budgets millions by avoiding expensive out-of-home placements and long-term societal burdens. Instead of spending thousands of dollars per child per month in state care, prevention programs stabilize families, boost local economies, and reduce public health and justice system expenses.

We believe entire communities can come together to help keep children safe and families together! Our village is made up of everyday people called to practice radical hospitality, disruptive generosity, and intentional compassion toward strangers who become family!

Whether you host children, support families, provide resources or services, serve as a ministry lead or on our Leadership Council, financially give, pray, take a meal, refer a family, etc, (most likely do a combination of these), you are the heartbeat of this movement!

Thank you for being a "village" that so many parents count on each day to walk alongside them, providing hope, a sense of belonging, and community!

When a family faces a crisis, parents often rely on relatives and friends for support. But for some parents, this is not enough or not even an option.

In these situations, children can become at risk of neglect and abuse and be separated from their families. No family should experience this. That’s where Safe Families for Children comes in.

Swipe through to see the “with” and “without” of this life-changing movement to help keep children safe and families supported. Together, we can strengthen families and keep them together, because no family should have to face a crisis without a supportive community.

When families live out RADICAL HOSPITALITY in the home, they pass down those values to their children!

We love hearing about second-generation Safe Families volunteers who also choose to pass it on by opening their hearts and homes to host children and support parents. So thankful for all our amazing volunteers who love their neighbor and live out the gospel in their community!
