Save the Date: Golf FORE Families Returns in 2026

Grab your clubs and join us for a day of golf, community, and impact at the 2026 Golf FORE Families Charity Golf Outing benefiting Family Promise of Mid Michigan.

This annual event brings together local businesses, community leaders, and supporters who believe that every family deserves a safe and stable place to call home. Whether you're an experienced golfer or just looking for a fun day on the course, Golf FORE Families offers a great opportunity to connect with others while making a difference for local families.

Family Promise of Mid Michigan is dedicated to ending homelessness—one family at a time. For the past 10 years, we have walked alongside families with children experiencing housing instability, providing prevention, diversion, and stabilization services that help them remain together and move toward long-term housing stability.

What began as an emergency shelter program has evolved into comprehensive support through programs including SHIP (Shared Housing Intervention Program), Bright Futures, LIFT, Loads of Hope, and other family-centered services. With a staff of just three people, we have served more than 4,118 children in 1,420 families.

Funds raised through Golf FORE Families help provide critical resources, including case management, transportation assistance, food support, tutoring, internet access, life skills training, and other services that help families build a stronger future.

There are many ways to get involved:

• Register as an individual golfer or foursome

• Become an event sponsor

• Donate raffle prizes or auction items

• Volunteer on event day

• Help spread the word throughout the community

As our community continues to face an affordable housing crisis, your support is more important than ever. Every sponsorship, registration, and donation helps ensure that local families experiencing housing insecurity have access to the resources they need to thrive.

Stay tuned for event details, sponsorship opportunities, and registration information. Together, we can help families move from crisis to stability—one family at a time.

Volunteer Opportunities

Family Promise of Mid Michigan strengthens our community by keeping vulnerable families safely housed, supported, and moving toward long-term stability.

We serve families experiencing homelessness or housing instability; especially those who are doubled-up, living in motels, or at imminent risk of losing their housing and provide the services they need to remain together and regain stability. Our work benefits our community by:

• Preventing family homelessness before it happens. Through the Shared Housing Intervention Program (SHIP), we provide case management, financial coaching, employment support, transportation assistance, and referrals. This keeps families housed, reduces shelter entries, and protects children from the trauma of homelessness.

• Providing safe, structured spaces for children. Our Bright Futures program gives Category 2 homeless kids access to tutoring, meals, internet, mentoring, positive relationships, and after-school enrichment. This reduces barriers to school success, increases stability, and gives kids a safe place to learn and grow.

• Offering emergency shelter solutions when no other options exist. When families face dangerous or inappropriate living conditions, we step in with temporary shelter options and support, helping families stay together and children remain safe.

• Meeting essential basic needs. We provide meals, laundry resources, transportation help, household items, hygiene supplies, and crisis intervention. Stabilizing families during high-stress moments is the key to stable housing.

• Partnering with the community. We engage congregations, volunteers, schools, and local agencies to share resources, coordinate care, and build a stronger safety net for families in crisis.

• Reducing long-term public costs. By keeping families housed, improving school stability, and reducing child welfare involvement, our services decrease strain on emergency systems, shelters, and publicly funded services.
