Help Our Chapter
Ways to Serve
There are three ways in which volunteer families can impact the lives of vulnerable children through Safe Families:
Host Family
Provide temporary guardianship so that the biological family can work towards gaining stability
Family Friend
Become a trusted friend in a biological family’s life through direct contact which may include providing transportation, mentor ship, helping with job searches or babysitting.
Resource Friend
Support both biological or host families without having direct contact with biological families. We have a constant need for donated items and resources.
Current Needs
We have multiple partnerships and work in great collaboration with ministries and other social service organizations supporting families in communities across Central Iowa. Please reach out if you would like to be a part of the Safe Families in your church and community.
