Our mission is to provide a safe shelter and nu-tritious meals for homeless families and single women in our community. This ministry enables our parish to participate in Family Promise.
Family Promise is a non-profit shelter program which unites over 40 religious congregations in Sussex County to assist with the growing number of homeless families. On an annual basis there are approximately 1,000 dedicated volunteers who provide 10,000 meals and 5,110 shelter beds. This ministry gives families a chance to start over and to regain their independence.
Family Promise has over 180 affiliates in 43 states. Annually through the national network of more than 150,000 volunteers from 5,500 con-gregations, Family Promise supports more than 55,000 homeless family members, 58% of them are children.
