Be a Super Star Volunteer

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 church partners provide meals, fellowship,  and hospitality to families in need. For families in the program, church volunteers provide dinner and spend some quality time with the families through compassion and care. The evening hours are for homework, relaxing and family fun time, as they would be with any family. Each day ends with the family all together, under one roof.

Church Partnerships

Local congregations, as part of their outreach ministries to the homeless population, provides:

 

  • Dinners to the shelter guests

​

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

​

  • Coordinating children’s crafts & activities

​

  • Donating necessary supplies for the hosting week

​

  • A weekly dinner and fellowship at their church site. Prayers and ministry are offered at the request of our shelter guests

Manageable Commitment 

​

  • Two- Three weeks of dinner meals per year delivered to the shelter for 2-3 guest families within the shleter program.

​

  • Each congregation hosts 2-3 shelter families at their church for dinner for just one night within their  weekly rotation assignment.  Dinner & Fellowship to be from 6:30pm - 8:00pm on the night preferred by the church host.​​

​

  • Family Promise runs criminal background checks on all program participants.

 

  • A Family Promise driver transports the families to and from the host church if transportation is needed.
