THANK YOU SO MUCH!  Almost 300 people supported the #NightWithoutABed campaign in 2024, and made sure our Apartment Shelter Program was fully funded.  And dozens of people participated in the sleepout on May 4 to raise awareness of what families go through daily doubled up or sleeping in places not meant for habitation, like cars, abandoned house, tents, and more.

Thanks to you, we earned a generous $45,000 matching gift from an anonymous foundation that helped us raise $10,000 more than the $200,000 goal!  With your support, Family Promise will be able to maintain 25 apartment shelters in operation this coming year!  We could not have done that without you, and here are the following teams whose united participation made all the difference:
