Safe Families for Children is a collaborative effort between area churches, volunteers, and professionals to prevent child abuse and neglect. South Park Church is committed to partnering with Lydia Home in Chicago to provide this program to the residents of Cook County.
Safe Families supports families in the midst of crisis by providing parents:
- A secure, temporary home for their children with a volunteer family
- Support and resources to help parents overcome their current situation
Safe Families is a voluntary program in which parents maintain full custody. There is no charge for this service, and volunteers are not compensated financially for their participation.
If you are in need of Safe Families services or are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact our Safe Families Church Coordinator, Kari Schacke, at safefamilies@southparkchurch.org.
