Safe Families East Tennessee

About the Ministry

Since 2003, Safe Families for Children has arranged close to 50,000 hostings in Host Family homes across the United States. Safe Families for Children (SFFC) hosts vulnerable children and creates extended family-like supports for families facing a crisis through a community of compassionate volunteers to keep children safe and families together.

It’s an exciting time for Safe Families for Children as we continue to grow and care for the most vulnerable among us, our children. Together, we can build a future rooted in hospitality, generosity, compassion, and the unwavering belief that every family deserves to feel safe and loved.
