Safe Families

Provide care for children in need of stability while their parents work on necessary changes. Host a child, or support host families with essentials!
When a parent is in crisis and has nowhere else to turn, we can be a support to them and help them care for their children. Get trained to temporarily host vulnerable children so you can provide an extended family environment to keep them safe – allowing their parent(s) to deal with the crisis while feeling secure in the knowledge that their children are being lovingly cared for. Once the situation is stabilized, the parent(s) and their children are reunited.
