Family Promise shelters up to three families at a time. The families stay at the shelter provided by the congregational partner of the week. The congregations host the families in the evening providing dinner and overnight shelter while we provide transportation. There is no faith requirement.
Each day, families return to the Family Resource Center where they have access to daily living essentials. The Family Resource Center includes Family Promise offices, computers, storage for family belongings, laundry facilities and showers. Families have the flexibility to plan their days without time restrictions or lining up for check-ins. The congregations donate breakfast and lunch food that the families prepare for themselves.
We do not provide emergency shelter.
