Safe Families for Children AllianceAddressing two root causes of family instability - financial insecurity and social isolation

raised by 22 people
$5,000 goal
When we serve families who are living on the edge of crisis one of their biggest needs consistently is financial stability. Our goal is to bring our model of relational support to this need.
We will bring together community partners already addressing the different factors of financial security - jobs/job retention and training, budgeting, financial literacy - and the local church to host community job fairs. People in that church's community will be able to come to receive help finding a job, receive tangible assistance with items they may need for work, and find ongoing support to help them retain the job they receive and become more financially savvy to help build their family a secure future.
We will do all of this while also supporting and encouraging them as parents, with our model relational wrap around support - but with volunteers targeted for this specific need as well through volunteers from the church, right in their own backyard.
While jobs may seem plentiful - finding appropriate jobs, learning skills to retain and grow in a career, and managing household income are all learned skills that many of our neighbors never had the opportunity to attain. In this model the goal of each family being a safe family for their children is enhanced by addressing one the the greatest needs they have.
Please join us in supporting the local church to be empowered to make change in the lives of the families living in their neighborhoods - and giving them a bridge to those families through a ministry that's practical, gives hope, and makes lasting change.
