About
Safe Families is a nonprofit that helps families in crisis to keep their children out of the foster care system.
Looking at how to expand the powerful mission of Safe Families across the country to create more rewarding experiences.
A New Camp
Press Play has been developed during a time of divide in our country to help bring people together.
When kids see one another, they see a friend. They don’s see pre-judgments or stigmas that have been developed in our culture.
Press Play is a camp for all children; host children and children in need.
This levels the playing field for all participants and to bring families together from different backgrounds.
My Experience
My family has been working with Safe Families for 3 years now.
This is Trenton: our first baby with Safe Families.
Inspired by connecting with new families; and experiencing the joy & appreciation gained from my old clothes and toys we no longer had use for.
How It Works
What
A camp for children that are apart of both ends of Safe Families.
Safe Families will accept old sports equipment as donations so they can lend them out to campers who may not be able to afford personal gear.
Where
Cincinnati is the ideal first location to begin the Press Play initiative since we have 2 chapters in our city, as well as chapters in the rest of the major cities in Ohio.
Saint Vincent Ferrer
7754 Montgomery Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45236
7754 Montgomery Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45236
Located in Kenwood, Ohio which is closely located to Safe Families Main chapter in Montgomery, Ohio. SVF has:
1 Baseball field
2 Soccer fields
1 Gymnasium
Numerous parking lots
Plenty of sports equipment & gear to be borrowed.
Why
Press Play would help Safe Families grow as a national organization.
Camps could start at local parishes in new cities to begin a new chapter and have people with similar values help the cause.
When
Opening year will be set to 2022 to figure out final logistics, which cities are best for Safe Families to expand to, and to avoid the exposure and spread of COVID-19.
Who
Host families’ children, families in crisis’ children, and members of the host parish / school where Press Play is being held.
Potential families looking to be apart of the Safe Families network.
