Thank you for your continued support of the Family Promise Program during our host weeks.

 

Currently, there are six families anchored by single moms, with a total of 20 children in shelter. Additional apartments will soon be opening in Ontario county for Family Promise families. We expect to fill the other two apartments within a week or two. We have new families in two of our Geneva apartments and our East Bloomfield apartment. We are transitioning out of the two apartments next door to the Mosaic Church and relocating these families in our new Bristol Street and Chapin Street apartments until they acquire permanent housing.

​

Fifteen congregations and one local business purchased and wrapped almost 500 Christmas gifts for 20 families with 61 children. Our congregation provided gifts for a four-year-old boy and his Mom.

 

Gas cards are most useful now, as Family Promise has a grant to pay for family groceries.

 

We can engage face to face with our guests, as COVID subsides in our area. Want to help? Could you...:

     « Reset an apartment, help manage donations, grocery shop for our families or help in the office?

     « Donate gift cards for our families to buy groceries?

     « Inventory and deliver books as part of our partnership with the Budding Readers program?

     « Inventory, organize, and deliver donated toys at the Day Center?

     « Pray, pray, pray for FPOC families, employees and volunteers:

• Permanent housing for all of our guests

• A childcare solution for a mom whose work hours are being changed

• Peace and stability for a mom experiencing mental health concerns

• Strength and love for a first time mother with a one-month-old baby

• An easy birth for a mom in labor!

 

So many ways to help!
