About Safe Families (From their website)

When a crisis strikes; struggles such as job loss, eviction, medical emergencies and domestic violence can leave families feeling desperate and alone. Many of us rely on relatives and friends for support. But for some parents, this is not an option. With no one to turn to for help, parents can struggle to provide safe and stable care for their children. This is where Safe Families for Children can help.

We surround Families in Crisis with a circle of compassionate volunteers. Our goal is to create a safe space for children while parents are supported to get back on their feet. From offering diapers to opening their homes to care for children, our volunteers say YES to children and their families in both large and small ways.

 Anyone can help—anyone can join us in saying YES to compassionate care, building relationships, and enabling thriving families.

Michelle Batton also shared an exciting resource Coming in April!!!
