Launched in 2024, the Battlefords Chatper is intentionally connecting with local churches, businesses, and community members who share our heart for families. The Battlefords is a beautiful community, rich with caring people and excellent family programs. And yet, we continue to see families facing crisis—moments when traditional services are stretched thin or unable to meet the full scope of need.

As a fairly new Chapter, we are excited to see the Church rise with compassion, ready to serve in the name of Jesus. We believe God is opening doors for His people to step in with love, practical support, and real presence. Our vision is to come alongside families during vulnerable seasons, offering connection, encouragement, and community—so no family has to walk through crisis alone.

Launched in January 2022, the Brantford Chapter continues to grow in both awareness and impact as they reach families in need through the Safe Families model.

As they deepen their presence in the region, the Brantford Chapter is excited to see how God will move through His people—opening doors, restoring hope, and surrounding families with a supportive community. They look forward with anticipation, trusting that Safe Families will be a vessel for transformation and encouragement throughout Brantford and beyond.

Safe Families Canada|Edmonton Chapter is part of a national team that is fueled by compassion to keep children safe and families intact while they walk through times of crisis. Safe Families partners with churches to create extended family-like support for families who find themselves in crisis. This can look like a family opening their home to a preschooler for a week while a single mom is in the hospital, or helping with drop-offs, pick-ups, and other errands while a grandma navigates becoming the primary guardian of her three grandkids, or meeting regularly with a mom of a teen who feels overwhelmed and at the end of her rope. While the type of support is unique to each situation, our heart is to create a caring community around families who find themselves in crisis, so that they can continue to care for their children while finding their way through crisis and hopefully meet Jesus along the way. 

Safe Families Canada|Edmonton launched in September 2020, during the global pandemic. Since then the generous-hearted people of the Edmonton region have walked with 39 families in crisis. Our team of amazing volunteers has hosted kids for 235 nights so far this year. We love to partner with both organisations and churches who have a heart to see every child grow up in a safe and well supported family. Given the size of the Edmonton region, and the snowball effect as the word spreads about what we do, we are always looking for more partners to join with us to love families experiencing a crisis and demonstrate Jesus’ compelling invitation to life by becoming His hands and feet.

The Guelph Wellington Chapter of Safe Families Canada has been faithfully supporting families since its launch, stepping into crisis moments with care, compassion, and relational connection. With a committed team of staff and volunteers, the chapter continues to build awareness across the region, strengthening its foundation for long-term sustainability and growth.

Their ongoing work is made possible through the generosity and encouragement of individual donors, local churches, community partners, and businesses who believe in creating a safety net for families before crises escalate. Together, they are cultivating a community where parents facing hardship feel supported rather than isolated, and where children can experience stability and belonging during challenging seasons. The Chapter looks forward to continued growth as they serve with love, hospitality, and hope in Jesus’ name.

Safe Families Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge is a Chapter of Safe Families Canada - a nationwide Christian nonprofit that builds intentional circles of support around struggling families who are socially isolated, struggling, and facing a crisis.  Embracing the values of biblical hospitality, radical generosity, and mercy fueled by compassion, we are striving to create a world where children are safe, and families’ lives are transformed by a caring compassionate community. We host vulnerable children and coach, befriend and resource families through a network of volunteers working through local area churches.

1.  To strengthen and build resiliency within families

2. To keep children safe and out of the child welfare system where possible

3. To keep families together and

4. To strengthen the compassion ministries of churches.  

This could look like caring for a baby while an ill mom is hospitalized, mentoring a mom who’s struggling with raising her teenager in a single-parent household to offering meals, drives, or supplies to an under-resourced family.  Extending the community safety net for at-risk families by providing lasting extended family-like relationships, we can keep families together while we support them through a crisis and out the other side.

Since we launched in February of 2018, we have supported over 150 families through our network of over 160 volunteers.  Working alongside area churches and agencies, we are connected to families and children who are desperate for relationships and support.  Because of the size of our area and the very real need for connection and community, we are always looking for volunteers who have a heart to see children safe and families well supported during a time of need.  We would love to invite you to join us as we open our hearts and our hands and our homes to the most vulnerable among us as we live out Jesus’ command to love our neighbours as ourselves.
