Our Team Story
MTM Team: Help raise $2,500 by Saturday, May 1 and Major Tool & Machine will match with a $2,500 contribution to reach our $5,000 goal!
As neighbors of Family Promise for more than 12 years at 19th and Arsenal Avenue, we have seen overwhelmed parents with kids of all ages enter their doors across the street, grateful to have a place to stay with needs attended to by volunteers. We have also seen those same families move into housing of their own thanks to the work of the professional case managers and staff.
Family Promise believes in keeping every family together regardless of their makeup, and hopes for our support to keep that going even in this ongoing pandemic as they use apartment shelters. Thank you for considering your best gift!
Statistics:
- More than 73% of families secure permanent housing of their own.
- More than 87% of families retain that housing for at least two years.
- Family Promise never sacrificed capacity in the pandemic, but expanded from serving eight to serving 20 families at a time when the economy led many more to call shelters.
