Summer Fun Fest 2014

We are VERY excited to announce our upcoming event for Safe Families for Children in Madison County!  Mark your calendar for June 28 to meet us at the Anderson Town Center Plaza for four hours of family fun, games, food and a concert!  Join our Facebook event page to let us know you are coming, and don’t forget we need your help to promote!  Bring your family, friends, church and community to enjoy Family Zumba offered by the Anderson YMCA, games, prizes, food by Greeks Pizza and a silent auction!  Big thank you to our local band bleedingkeys and Klipsch for being a part of this event and providing some incredible items for our auction!

We have been busy the past year, facilitating over 65 placements since our inception in Madison County in March of 2013.  God has given us incredible host families that have accomplished mighty things for families in crisis across our county.  We have served a father of 3 young children who desperately wanted to seek treatment for substance abuse and was only able to do this through the unwavering support of 2 loving host families.  We have helped a young mom who had bounced around with roommates and been homeless multiple times in the past year and just 2 weeks ago was able to move into her into her new home that is walking distance to her boys’  daycare.  Better yet–her host family has been brave enough to love her like Jesus and they now have an eternal bond.  We have been able to facilitate finding a forever family for a 5 year old girl who lives full time with her Grandma who has terminal cancer.  This incredible host-family-turned-adoptive-family will be moving both the 5 year old and the Grandmother to a location close by their own home, so Grandmother and granddaughter can spend as much time together as possible before she passes.

More stories are yet to be told in Madison County!  God is at work within our families, and we are trusting Him with our finances too.  Our event will meet the dual purpose of increasing awareness of Safe Families in our community and also will help us raise funds!  We have a fundraising goal of $5,000 for this event!  Please join us on June 28th!
