Safe Families for Children

Safe Families for Children  Building Resilient Families Founded in Chicago in 2003, Safe Families for Children is a non-profit organization, a multi-site volunteer movement that gives support to families in distress. Since 2020 as part of the statewide effort, the Miami Chapter has started to mobilize churches in the Miami-Dade and Broward counties to join the movement to keep children safe, families together, and communities transformed. SFFC is passionate about preventing child abuse/neglect and decreasing the number of vulnerable children unnecessarily entering the foster care system.

Safe Families for Children was launched as a national “family preservation movement” to keep children safe and families together. SFFC engages local churches to support families in crisis BEFORE the children enter the child welfare system. This is a PREVENTIVE Program. They are looking for individuals and families to serve as temporary “hosts” to protect these children and preserve these families. SFFC promotes their effort with “radical hospitality,” “disruptive generosity,” and “intentional compassion.”

This is one meeting we want HHH Child Advocates to do a little homework BEFORE Juliana and Desiree’s talk. Go to their web site: Home – Safe Families for Children and research their mission. Come to our meeting with insights and questions! Invite your friends!
