Request a Safe Family

First off, you are not alone. We know parenting isn't easy.

The hours are endless and praises are few. It's a job that can leave you feeling isolated and alone. If you are experiencing a life crisis and have nowhere else to turn, Safe Families for Children can help.

A movement of compassion, Safe Families for Children is designed to care for your family in your moment of need without relinquishing your parental rights. While voluntarily placing your child(ren) with certified volunteers, you are given the time and tools you need to help your family thrive.

If you need a safe and loving family to temporarily care for your children, simply get in touch with us by filling out the confidential request form below, and a Safe Families for Children representative will contact you within 12 hours or the next business day.

Guidelines for Safety

 

With Safe Families for Children you can be confident that: 

  • Biological parents maintain full custody.

  • Volunteer families are extensively screened and supported.

  • SFFC welcomes children to stay anywhere from a couple of days to several months as needed (our average length of stay is six weeks).

  • SFFC works closely with our volunteers and your referring organization.

  • SFFC is committed to reunite your family as soon as possible.
