Rebuilding foundations... Restoring lives!

Far too many kids are caught in the cycle of domestic, child and sexual abuse. 
But there is a solution. Safe Place for kids is just that. 
Just $47 can help keep children from suffering years of abuse
 by providing just one square foot of safe housing.  A place to call home
while they get help and while they heal.

Purpose

Safe Place for Kids, Inc is a not-for-profit organization that will build and provide safe places for children that will enable licensed child advocate groups with an environment in which they may make a positive difference and restore hope in the lives of abused and neglected children.

The Vision

The Vision Statement at Safe Place for Kids was established as an outline of the process that the organization will encompass to accomplish its mission. With our roots based in faith, we will serve as property management to identify, locate and tailor available space to specific requirements for multiple Not for profit agencies.  We will offer the complementing agencies the opportunity to lease their locations at reduced rates. We offer this service so that small to medium Non for profit organizations can use their precious funding toward their unique mission.  Safe Place for Kids will play a role in eradicating child abuse and neglect in our community and is committed to the building, rehabilitation and development of locations that enable licensed child advocate groups with an environment in which they may make a positive difference and restore hope in the lives of abused and neglected children. Using 5 simple steps, the “Five E’s” as a guideline, Safe Place for Kids will partner with Non for profit agencies, through a grant process, that serve children or families in any measure of these 5 statements.

Enfold:
Receiving abused and abandoned children

Establish:
Providing an atmosphere of hope and healing

Equip:

Mission

To build and provide safe places for children that will facilitate residential care, counseling, education, ministry and support services in relation to domestic and childhood abuse, with the hope of empowering and transforming abused children, parents and families.
