2027 Safe Families Gala
Join us for an evening that strengthens families and fuels the mission of Safe Families for Children, a night centered around the kind of Christ‑like love our world is aching for.
What the world needs now is love. A practical, everyday love that reflects the heart of Jesus and shows up for families in crisis. This night is an invitation to be part of that love.
Featuring special guest Peter Mutabazi: Author. Influencer. Dedicated Foster Dad. His story of resilience, compassion, and radical generosity will remind us how God can use one person’s “yes” to change the trajectory of a child’s life.
“Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 (MSG)

What the World Needs Now Is...
you!!
Safe Families for Children is, at its core, a movement of Christ‑like compassion: neighbors supporting neighbors, churches opening their doors, and volunteers stepping into the gap so families can stay connected.
What the world needs now is this kind of love that reflects the heart of Jesus.
Your generosity, your prayers, and your partnership make that love visible.
Because of you, parents will feel supported instead of alone and children will experience safety instead of uncertainty. Families will find hope instead of fear.
Thank you for being part of this movement, for choosing compassion, choosing community, and choosing to help families thrive.
