Family Promise is a shelter program for homeless children and their families.

We are a non-profit organization committed to helping no income or low income families achieve lasting housing independence. Our mission is to bring the faith community together to help families regain their housing, their independence and their dignity.

Family Promise receives NO government funding.  We sustain our programs through donations, fundraising and grants.

For every $1 we raise, we provide $3 worth of services to homeless children and their families.
