Testimonials

"I can’t even begin to acknowledge the amazing, sacrificial generosity shown to me and my family by Safe Families. You gave me hope and helped me persevere to get whole and healthy for my children."

"We anticipated doing Safe Families to help others without realizing how much it would help us. We learned about how to be better disciples and care for His people."

"I believe Safe Families can help truly transform our community."

"We joined Safe Families because we loved the idea of Biblical hospitality and the church being the church so that we could all have a part in serving. Our children were 12 and 16, and we believed this would be a great ministry for our whole family to be involved in."

Strengthening Families in

Crisis

Driven by volunteers who are motivated by their compassion to serve, Safe Families is a faith-based support system for families in crisis. Hundreds – or even thousands – of families in Southwest Michigan don’t have anyone to call on in times of need. They’ve never connected with their neighbors, their coworkers, or their local church. We believe it’s time for the church to embrace a broader vision of service.
