Meet Our Chapter
Welcome to Safe Families for Children – Springfield
Together we can help families in crisis, your gift today will be used where it is needed most in supporting our local efforts to meet the needs of families and children we serve. Click here to learn more!
Safe Families surrounds families in crisis with a caring and compassionate community. We work quickly to connect our families with a Circle of Support of community volunteers. Our goal is to keep kids safe and families together. Once a parent’s life has stabilized and the home environment is healthy, we work with parents to reunite their family as soon as possible.
If you or someone you know needs a hosting for a child:
Please call 217-953-1141 and leave a message if there is no answer. You may also fill out the form below and someone will get in touch with you as soon as they are able. Have general questions or are you interested in becoming a volunteer? Please call 217-953-1141 or email eshue@safefamilies.net.
