Meet Our Chapter
Welcome to Safe Families for Children – Serving the Quad Cities in both Iowa and Illinois!
Together we can help families in crisis! We’ve been present in the Quad Cities since 2005. Safe Families surrounds families in crisis with a caring and compassionate community. We work quickly to connect children with a volunteer family. Our goal is to keep kids safe and families intact. Once a parent’s life has stabilized and the home environment is healthy, we work with parents to reunite their family as soon as possible. We can support families (upon volunteer availablity) in Rock Island, Henry, Mercer and parts of Whiteside counties in Illinois and Scott, Muscatine, Clinton and Jackson counties in Iowa.
If you or someone you know needs a hosting for a child:
Please call 563-949-9803. You may also fill out the form below and someone will get in touch with you as soon as they are able.
