Volunteer as a Family
Family Promise is a very family-friendly volunteer opportunity! Make and serve a dinner as a family or have a “sleep over” with your kids at the congregations! There are many safe and fun ways to engage your children in volunteering for Family Promise and learning about homelessness.
