SFFC - a ministry where we open our hearts, open our arms, and open our homes.

"I call them family because of all the things that they've done. They've been there for me when all I needed was someone to rely on and believe in me. My kids and I have felt loved and safe. We couldn't ask for more." - Mom

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." - Helen Keller

Easter is this Sunday!
Is there anyone you could invite to join you in your Easter celebrations? A family you've hosted for? A neighbor?

Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

SFFC is all about neighbors helping neighbors. It's about people isolated in crisis becoming surrounded by community & support.

We're here to help.

Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these... you did for me. Matthew 25:40

Let's live out love to our neighbors!

"Once you choose hope, anything is possible." - Christopher Reeve

Safe Families for Children comes alongside families in crisis by surrounding them with caring, compassionate community.

It takes a village to raise a child. Find the opportunity to open your village to others.

"Kindness can transform someone’s dark moment with a blaze of light. You’ll never know how much your caring matters. Make a difference for another today."

- Amy Leigh Mercree

"All I needed was a little bit of light so I could see what the best next step was for me and my kids. Safe Families gave me that light - the Harris family. My kids were safe with them, I got us a place to live, and now we can keep taking steps." - Mom

"The time is always right to do what is right." - MLK

*It's not too late to reach out to someone who might need a family to celebrate with!*

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” – Luke 2:14

"The holidays have been so wonderful for our family! The Lara's have invited us over even though they hosted our kids months ago. Now I have a whole new experience of a Family Christmas and it's been so great." - Dad

“The Joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others’ burdens, easing each other’s loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts becomes for us the magic of the holidays.” - W.C. Jones

Happy Thanksgiving! Have a wonderful day reflecting on all you are thankful for!

"I'm grateful we're not alone. I was on my own for so long, but now we have this amazing family in our lives that is here for us. We're not alone anymore." - Mom

Grow through what you go through.

3 host families helped with a longer term hosting. All 3 moms told Sarah, the kids' mom, that they wanted to keep getting together for mommy & me playdates so they could all keep in touch. Sarah shared, "I'm grateful for the new friends we have in our lives now. It's so nice to know we have support around us."

Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. - Romans 15:7

The holiday season is upon us! It a great time to reach out to the families you've supported over the years. Who can you invite to join you?

Be there to walk those next steps with a family like a host family walked with a mom living at the OC Rescue Mission. Mom needed a mental health evaluation as she continued on her journey to health for her family and was able to take those steps because a SFFC host family from the local church was there to host her 3 year old boy!
