About SAFFT

Supporting Adoption & Foster Families Together (SAFFT) is a nonprofit organization with a mission to protect children, rebuild families, and empower caregivers. Through years of working with hundreds of children and families, SAFFT discovered that families in crisis are part of a generational cycle passed down to children causing decades of family abuse, addiction, child neglect, homelessness, unemployment, and severe poverty. Since early 2009, SAFFT has successfully developed and implemented multiple programs of support with centers located in Forsyth and Hall County. SAFFT’s leadership strongly believes change begins with the entire community, including the families in crisis, the children in foster and adoptive care, caregivers supporting the children, and organizations charged with protecting and serving the children and families.
