Foster Care Licensing Agencies

Safe Families for Children of Sarasota/Bradenton is a faith-based foster care diversion initiative helping families facing a crisis, further upstream. Since its inception in 2003 SFFC has been instrumental in lightening the burden of an overflowing welfare system nationwide. SFFC is comprised of the Church, the body of Christ and the individuals that make up the body stepping out and welcoming a child into their home for a temporary time… and we could use your help. We are actively recruiting volunteers to serve as Host Families, Family Coaches, Resource Friends, Family Friends, Ministry Leads and Church Partners.

Florida Baptist Children’s Homes, The Porch Light and Orphan’s Heart provide Christ-centered services to children and families in need. In 2017, we had the privilege of impacting more than 175,000 children and individuals and serving more than 5 million meals domestically and internationally. Whether it’s getting involved in foster care, helping a single mom be brave, sponsoring a child, or feeding and educating children and families on a mission trip or through Compassion Ministries, we invite you to help us give hope to One More Child!
