My Family Promise journey started when I was a student and I did an internship there. The first thing I learned was that not all homeless people are what the stereotype looks like, in fact most aren’t. Most of the families I met in the program had experienced circumstances that could happen to anyone resulting in not having a home of their own. The program is designed for families with children so not everyone in the community can be helped. Also the program has limited capacity so at any given moment a family may not be able to be helped. However, once chosen to participate, Family Promise workers (student interns, social workers, mental health counselors, business professionals and a myriad of volunteers) work very hard with families to empower them to change their lives. It does take work and it does take sacrifices; however, the result can be amazing. Family Promise does not change their lives, Family Promise supports them while they work hard to change it themselves. I have witnessed so many families succeed! After I finished school I continued my relationship with Family Promise as a volunteer. I have been inspired by these families throughout my Family Promise journey which is is 9 years strong.

Family promise is a great program and a great place for you and your family to have a fresh start. I am currently one of their guest and they have change my life ever. Family promise staff is the best. They literally make sure you have everything you so you can success.. I’ve learned so much from family promise I couldn’t ask for a better experience in this program. Thank you.

This organization is awesome they helped me when I was in need and provided me resources and direction when I was lost. I cant thank them enough. The program manager and interns were a real blessing. Thank you for everything.

Follow the rules, basically feel like a prisoner for 8 weeks, give them your soul, and then get kicked to the curb right back where you started. Youll have a roof and food and save money, but in the end the administration is really just a bunch of heartless human beings trying to make themselves look good. Currently moving out of state because we still cant find a house and the program did nothing to help us in that capacity. They lied directly to our faces and then shooed us out with the rest of the trash. We may have some money saved now but we are no better off then we were 2 months ago. Think long and hard before you agree to join. If I had known I would be back where I started, we would have just moved home in the first place and accepted help there.

Very nice people who accepted my clothing donation!

Wonderful place and always wanting to empower families.

Use caution when asking for help.

Horrible
