Our Holiday Appeal: Help Us Continue to Create Lasting Change
With the holiday season upon us, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for what we’ve accomplished together in 2019. This has been an incredible year of milestones in both our programming and operations, resulting in inspirational, transformative outcomes for our families. We are also proud to announce that early this month we concluded our Capital Campaign, paid off our mortgage for our new Day Center, and established a building maintenance fund. This was our first capital campaign, and in less than two years we reached our goal—a stunning accomplishment that we attribute to all of you.
What we do at Family Promise is simple. We help motivated families move themselves out of poverty by offering the guidance and resources they need to make real change. But we could never do this without our community of support. As the year comes to an end, we invite you to make your own change by making a year-end donation to our Holiday Appeal and ensuring our families a future filled with potential.
On behalf of those we serve, we extend our deep appreciation and warm wishes for a joyful holiday season. Thank you!
