Who We Are

Safe Families for Children of Lafayette, Indiana is one of the newest Safe Families chapter sites. We were founded in 2013 with a drive and passion for developing deep connection and relationship with would-be strangers in the Greater Lafayette area. We are committed to serving families in crisis by partnering with the local church, where families open their homes and lives to vulnerable children. Our volunteers are as diverse as the families we serve, and reach to varying parts of our community.

How We Started

Our chapter started in 2013 with the belief in the Safe Families’ vision 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.
