VOLUNTEERS CHANGE LIVES
Family Promise’s shelter program relies on a partnership of interfaith congregations and other volunteer groups to help local families facing homelessness. Family Promise offer on-site shelters for the families. Our Hosts assist in preparing meals and hospitality to families in need. In the evening, volunteers provide dinner and spend some quality time to our guests. The evening hours are for homework, relaxing and family fun time, as they would be with any family. Each day ends with the family all together, under one roof.
