Safe Families North Florida is focused on engaging communities in the Big Bend and Panhandle areas of Florida – approximately from Live Oak to Pensacola.  Our main office is located in Tallahassee, and has been since 2018, where our foundational engagement has grown with churches, volunteers and families!
Safe Families North Florida began as a grassroots movement in 2017, to expand and extend the support to families in our community. The effort to raise support to launch a local chapter was led by Ann Connell and Laure Mulrooney – who worked tirelessly to bring the Safe Families model to the North Florida faith community with four initial churches committing their support. Today that has grown to over    churches in the North Florida area, and over 400 volunteers. The chapter still serves families, but also young adults who have been impacted by the child welfare system. Locally the North Florida chapter also partners with many local organizations, but the parachurch organizations who first assisted with the launch remain some of our strongest partners – joining us in engaging the local church to be the light in our community. As we near our first decade of service in North Florida, we look forward to witnessing how the Lord will continue to use the people of faith in our community to keep children safe, and families together to the Glory of God!
