Host Site

VOLUNTEERS OF ALL FAITHS CHANGING LIVES

Family Promise’s shelter program relies on a partnership of interfaith congregations and other volunteer groups to help local families facing homelessness. Our host sites provide lodging, meals and hospitality to families in need. For families in the program, each day begins with breakfast at a host site with volunteers, followed by a van ride to our Day Center. In the evening, guests return to the host site, where volunteers provide dinner and spend some quality time. The evening hours are for homework, relaxing and family fun time, packing tomorrow's lunch, just as they would be with any family. Each day ends with the family all together, under one roof.

HOST CONGREGATIONS

A host congregation team of volunteers may be involved with the following:

 

  • Cooking and hosting dinner

​

  • Spending the evening with families, talking, tutoring kids or playing games​

​

  • Coordinating children’s crafts & activities

​

  • Donating necessary supplies and food for the hosting week​​

MANAGEABLE COMMITMENT
