Family Promise of Genesee County participates in Giving Day

FLINT, MI, APRIL 28, 2022 - This April, Family Promise of Genesee County will participate with Family Promise and Affiliates across the country in Family Promise Giving Day, a one-day event to raise awareness of Family Promise and the crisis of family homelessness in Genesee County and the U.S.

"I never tire of talking about Family Promise, with each opportunity I have to speak with someone new, to create awareness about the trauma of family homelessness, it renews my own excitement and passion of helping families with a hand-up out of their situation," says Development Director Nicole Hoste-Breslin. "We do things differently then other shelters, we are passionate helping families get the skills they need and we coach them along the way so they are successful."

Family Promise envisions a nation in which every family has a home, a livelihood, and the chance to build a better future. What began as a local initiative in Summit, NJ, has become a national movement that involves 200,000 volunteers and serves more than 90,000 family members each year. Family Promise will change the future for 1 million children by 2030.

Join Family Promise of Genesee County on April 28! For more information about Family Promise Giving Day, please visit https://www.fpgives.org/organizations/family-promise-of-genesee-county.

About Family Promise of Genesee County

Family Promise is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization addressing the crisis of family homelessness in Genesee County. In 2012 a group of individuals came together wanting to help children and families in a housing crisis. Since then, FPGC has provided more than 16,763 nights of safe sleep, 46,572 meals, and served more than 1,229 people, the majority of them children. Currently, 92% of our families who have graduated are still living in stable homes. Through a comprehensive set of solutions involving prevention, shelter, and stabilization, Family Promise empowers families experiencing or who are at-risk of homelessness to reclaim and maintain their independence. We are not just a shelter; we are a holistic solution to ending family homelessness….one family at a time. To learn more about FPGC, visit familypromiseofgc.org.
