Our Partners

We partner with entire communities to help keep children safe and families together!

Safe Families for Children has many dedicated partners who serve in both public and private capacities that address specific life vulnerabilities such as housing insecurity, unemployment, addiction, domestic violence, physical and mental health challenges, and many more.

We work with numerous local organizations, schools, government agencies, non-profits, and faith communities to refer families, recruit volunteers, and provide a network of resources and relationships.
