VOLUNTEERS OF ALL FAITHS CHANGING LIVES
Family Promise’s Rotational Shelter program is built on a network of interfaith congregations and other volunteer groups working together to support local families experiencing homelessness.
​
Our host sites provide lodging, meals, and hospitality, creating a safe and welcoming environment for families in need.
​
A typical day in the program begins with breakfast at the host site. From there, children go to school, parents head to work or receive support at the Day Center. In the evening, families return to the host site, where volunteers serve dinner and spend meaningful time with guests.
​
Evenings are filled with homework, relaxation, and family time—just like in any home. Every night ends with families together, under one roof, surrounded by compassion and community.
CONGREGATIONS

Host Congregations provide temporary overnight lodging in otherwise unused spaces in their buildings, as well as volunteers to provide hospitality to Family Promise guest families.
Support Congregations provide volunteers to a nearby Host Congregation to help support their team.
