The unexpected loss of a job, mounting expenses, foreclosure or eviction, a serious accident or illness, domestic violence, substance abuse, and an uncertain economy can plunge a family into chaos.
Safe Refuge for Children + Families offers a hope-filled option for struggling families – made possible by a unique community-church partnership — by providing temporary homes for children until the family can be safely reunited.
Looking for help?
Safe Refuge is here to support you in your time of need. We can help you by providing safe homes to care for your children while you work out your challenges.
You can have peace of mind knowing that the family caring for your children has been pre-screened, trained, and is motivated by compassion and love to provide a safe and nurturing environment. The program is voluntary, you pay nothing for the service, and you retain all parental rights.
Looking to help others?
Safe Refuge for Children + Families expands the community safety net by providing parents in need with temporary homes for their children, mentoring relationships, and tangible support during times of crisis.
It’s a team effort with many needs and opportunities to help – as a Host Family; as a part of Circle of Friends providing support to Host Families; as a Safe Refuge Ministry Lead coordinating care for Host families during a hosting.

It’s quite emotional to remember how far we’ve come. How I may have just given up had I not had the help of your organization and the countless loving people that have taken my kids and shown them love, normalcy and happiness in a situation that has been so difficult.

Thank you for all you do for myself and my family. I cannot do anything in return to compare with how much your services have done for me. I have gone through a lot of serious tragedies over the last couple of years that I couldn’t have handled without you guys.

I call them family because of all of the things that they’ve done.
I am forever grateful to the people who looked at me with faith and love and supported me, contributing to my life and the lives of my children.
