Become a Support Congregation
VOLUNTEERS OF ALL FAITHS CHANGING LIVES
Family Promise’s shelter program relies on a partnership of interfaith congregations and other volunteer groups to help local families facing homelessness. Support congregation volunteers provide meals and hospitality to families in need. Each day ends with the family all together, under one roof.
Support Activities
A team of volunteers from local houses of worship may be involved with the following:
-
Cooking and hosting dinner
-
Spending the evening with families, talking, tutoring kids or playing games
-
Coordinating children’s crafts & activities
-
Donating necessary supplies for the week
-
Setting up and breaking down guest families’ rooms upon shelter exit
Manageable Commitment
-
Volunteers serve in the evening or overnight, not 24 hours a day
-
Each congregation serves four times a year
-
Guests consist of only two to four families (14 children & adults max)
-
Family Promise runs criminal background checks and drug screenings on all program participants
We need your help! Can your faith group become a support congregation?
