Mission Statement
Safe Families for Children keeps children safe and families together.
About This Cause
Founded in Chicago in 2003, Safe Families for Children (SFFC) is a volunteer movement that gives hope and support to families in distress. Located in over 70 cities in the US, United Kingdom, Canada and other countries, Safe Families supports families during crisis. We are motivated by compassion to keep children safe and out of foster care. Safe Families hosts vulnerable children. We create extended, family-like supports for desperate families through a community of devoted volunteers who are motivated by faith to keep children safe and to reunite families. Under the current economic conditions, many families experience financial crisis, unemployment, and homelessness. Often, these situations result in, or are made worse by, other hardships such as parental violence, drug or alcohol use, physical or mental illness, or incarceration. In these situations, parents or guardians may be incapable of providing a safe and caring environment for their children, putting them at risk of abuse and neglect. In the past, extended family or neighbors stepped in to help families in crisis by caring for their children for short periods of time. Today, however, many families are socially isolated and their extended family is nonexistent or unavailable or unable to help.
