host & Support communities
Any faith community from any religion, or any community service group, can become a host! All that is needed are willing volunteers, a plan, perseverance and passion. Most important is an understanding of the vital role that flexibility plays in how we help people, a belief in our mission and the need for it in our community.
Communities will be partnering with one another to form a hospitality network. Host communities will provide nutritious meals and hospitality for our families, one week at a time, 2 to 6 times a year. Each community may host up to two families at a time, ranging from 4-10 individuals depending on family size.
If your faith or community group is interested in supporting another community by providing meals and volunteers, please contact us.
Volunteer
Volunteers are the heart of Family Promise. Family Promise keeps families together and provides them with a safe, supportive and home-like environment.
But our volunteers do so much more. They become a personal support system to our homeless families. They share contacts for jobs and housing, help write resumes and prepare for job interviews, and donate clothing and furniture. These supportive relationships often continue after families leave the network. Because of the involvement and dedication of our volunteers, more than 80 percent of the families we have assisted have found permanent homes.
Family Promise provides an opportunity for compassionate people to make a difference in our community. We offer a wide range of volunteer activities to fit varying schedules and levels of commitment. Our program allows families to volunteer together, from grandparents to young children. If you are interested in joining our volunteer team, please contact us.
