Because of YOU, SAFEchild’s Champion Our Children campaign raised $11,105,000, surpassing our $11 million goal!
SAFEchild’s New Home
Our bold dream of building a new home for SAFEchild to reach more children and families in our community is fulfilled.
This significant new chapter of SAFEchild’s story is possible because of generous gifts from 425 Champions for Children between the fall of 2021, when the campaign launched, and its completion in early 2024.
Immediate Impact
Staff moved into the building in October 2023 and immediately began expanding programs. Children and families in Wake County are already benefiting from SAFEchild’s move to this much larger, unified space.

The Construction Process
In just 10 months, from December 2022 to October 2023, a vine-covered lot at 2841 Kidd Road in Raleigh, donated to SAFEchild by WakeMed Health and Hospitals, was transformed as our beautiful 20,000-square-foot facility was purposefully constructed to serve the community.
Throughout construction, SAFEchild held several events at or near the site, including a groundbreaking celebration, a “topping off” celebration and a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Videographer Nathan Head of aHead Media visited the site regularly during construction to shoot footage with a drone.
