Donate
Every dollar counts (times 3!)
Compared to other shelters, we operate on a relatively small budget at Family Promise. In fact, for every dollar raised, $3 of in-kind services goes back to helping families in need. This is completely thanks to the in-kind giving of our faith communities: providing shelter, meals and services to help our families buy time to get back on their feet.
Please consider a gift, large or small, to our mission to continue to help families working to overcome homelessness because every child deserves a home.

Youth Giving
There is no age to young (or old) to begin giving back.
There are so many ways to teach your children about giving back. At Family Promise, we would like to help!
Click here to download a printable template for our Houses for Change collection boxes. Print on heavy paper (or card stock) and then let the kids go to town with decorating. Encourage children to collect spare change in their completed “house banks.”
When you are ready, we welcome you to bring your children by the Day Center to deliver their donations and learn a bit more about Family Promise.
Houses for Change are also a great project for bible school and school projects! The possibilities are endless.
In-Kind Gifts
Family Promise welcomes in kind gifts to support our programs and to provide families with needed supplies daily life. Your donations help to take away some pressure homeless families deal with daily.
