MISSION PARTNER

VOLUNTEERS OF ALL FAITHS CHANGING LIVES

Family Promise’s programs are powered by the compassion and commitment of interfaith congregations and community volunteers. Together, we support local families—especially those experiencing Category 2 homelessness, such as living in motels or doubled up—by providing stability, connection, and resources.

Our Mission Partners play a vital role in supporting families experiencing housing instability. They provide warm meals, a welcoming presence, and ongoing hospitality through our programs. Whether it's offering dinner for families living in motels, volunteering at our Internet Café for online students, or helping with enrichment activities during our summer programming, these congregations and community groups walk alongside families with compassion and care. Their involvement helps create safe spaces where children can learn, grow, and just be kids—despite the challenges they face.

MISSION PARTNERS

Local congregations and community groups continue to be a vital part of our work—now in new and flexible ways that reflect the evolving needs of families experiencing Category 2 homelessness.

Although we no longer provide emergency overnight shelter, we continue to rely on caring volunteers to support children and families in practical and meaningful ways. Mission Partners may help with:

Providing or serving meals for families living in motels
Volunteering at our Internet Café by assisting students with homework or offering tech support
Organizing or leading activities for kids during after-school and summer in our Bright Futures program
Donating snacks, school supplies, hygiene items, or cleaning products
Offering mentorship, tutoring, or simply spending time with children in a safe, supportive environment
Coordinating drives or fundraisers to support family stability and basic needs

By partnering with us, your congregation or group helps create a circle of care that surrounds families with hope, dignity, and opportunity.
