Safe Families

We open our hearts, open our arms, and open our homes.

Safe Families for Children is a movement fueled by compassion to keep children safe and families intact. Through Host Families, Family Friends, and Family Coaches, we temporarily host children and provide a network of support to families in crisis while they get back on their feet.

Chapelstreet Church is a participating church with Safe Families for Children. Are you interested in becoming a host family, or providing loving care and support to other families hosting children? Sign up to attend a Virtual Informational Meeting on February 16.
