Our Partners

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

Church Partners

Churches throughout our network play a significant role in the Safe Families movement. Through a partnership with local churches, we recruit, train, and mobilize volunteers to care for children and their families. Churches of all sizes, denominations, or non-denominational backgrounds partner with Safe Families for Children.

Churches partnering with Safe Families can range from urban to suburban to rural, and from small to large. Some churches may have many host families, family coaches, and family friends, while others have just a few, but also provide much-needed support and resources to our volunteers. We are excited to see more and more churches recognize the need to help isolated and struggling families and how simple acts of compassion and hospitality can truly impact lives, offer hope, and provide a tangible expression of the Gospel.

Community Partners

The task of helping isolated families in vulnerable situations feel safer for their children is immense. Thankfully, we have many dedicated community partners who serve in both public and private capacities that address specific life vulnerabilities such as homelessness, unemployment, child welfare, education, domestic violence, mental health, substance abuse, and many more.

Safe Families Iowa works with a number of local organizations, schools, government agencies, non-profits, and faith communities to identify families in need of support and to recruit volunteers.

We are grateful for all the collaborative and strategic partnerships that share our commitment to keep children safe and families supported!
