A lack of basic resources can often be what moves a struggling family to become a family in crisis.
Tangible items such as a crib or coat, or services from a dentist or mechanic may be the hand of help a family needs to keep themselves from losing touch with hope.
Safe Families “Resource Friends” are a collection of resource rich individuals who have the ability to share their skills or material goods with families that are on the edge. Guided by our Family Friends, these gifts are connected directly to the urgent, pressing needs of families.
Resources Friends include:
- Counselors
- Dentists
- Doctors
- Educators
- Lawyers
- Mechanics
- Those able to share material goods
- Babysitters
- People able to help with transportation, lawn care, English language acquisition, home improvements, etc.
By becoming a Resource Friend you fill an essential role in the Safe Families ministry. No one can provide exactly what you can share with a family in crisis.
