Tuesday, October 20 at 7:00 pm, Alison Schminke of Bethany Christian Services, will present Safe Families for Children, a new program which is coming to Central Florida.
What is Safe Families? It is a voluntary program designed to prevent abuse and neglect for children in our community. A Safe Family is a volunteer who opens their home and provide a child with a safe, nurturing place to live while their parents work to bring stability back to their family. Families who are in crisis are given training and support so that they can get to a place where they are ready to bring their child(ren) back home.
You are under no obligation whatsoever to sign up to become a Safe Family by attending the meeting on Oct 20. Perhaps you know someone who might be interested. The commitment is much less than becoming a foster family with children staying up to 90 days in your home. You can say no to a placement if it is not the right time to add a child to your home for a short time.
If you think you would like to learn more, we would love to have you attend on October 20. If you could let me know you are attending it would help with knowing who to expect. You are always welcome to just show up. Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you know who might be interested.
For questions or more information contact Tracy Matheson at First United Methodist Church of Winter Park @ 407-644-2906 ext 256.
