Meet Our Chapter
Safe Families for Children surrounds families in crisis with caring, compassionate community. We are an organization that seeks to prevent children from experiencing neglect or abuse by providing them with a safe, stable, temporary home while the crisis is resolved. Our intent is to keep families intact and reunite the family as quickly as possible. We partner with the local churches, where families open their homes and lives to vulnerable children.
Our chapter started in August 2020 with the belief that Jesus calls us to defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless. Our goals are to empower the church, unify families and deflect children from being unnecessarily put into the foster care system throughout La Crosse County.
Safe Families for Children La Crosse exists to promote a strong and healthy community for all children and families. If you would like to get volunteer or help with monetary support, please contact us or follow the link to our individual website.
