Family Promise of Monroe County is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3), non-denominational organization for homeless families in transition and part of a national organization founded in 1986. Family Promise brings shelter, meals, and support services to families without homes through a network of local congregations.
All donations are tax deductible.
All donations remain withing Monroe County and will go directly to supporting this community.
Our Five Basic Components:
1. Congregations: The hosting of families rotates weekly among host congregations in the Network. In turn, each host congregation provides lodging, dinner, and caring hospitality 4 times a year. Support Congregations assist the program by providing regular volunteers and funds.
2. Day Center: Guests use a local Day Center from 5 AM to 5 PM, where a professional social worker provides case management services. The guests pursue employment, permanent housing, care for pre-school children, shower and do laundry.
3. Transportation: The Family Promise van transports guests to and from the Day Center and to other needed appointments.
4. Volunteers: Volunteers are essential to our success and provide a wide range of services like cooking and serving meals, playing with children or helping them with homework, interacting with guests with respect and compassion, and providing overnight security.
5. Fundraising: The organization is financed through donations, grants and fundraising events.
Your generous donation will help us to fullfill our mission of supporting families in need throughout Monroe County.
Everyone needs a Home.
