Supporting Families in Need During the COVID-19 Crisis
In response to the evolving COVID-19 crisis, we are asking for donations that will directly support our families. We are currently serving 23 families with 27 adults and 46 children across our programs and are collecting data on their emerging needs in order to address their individual challenges. In the process, we are also learning how support from Family Promise is bringing calm and hope to our families. As one mother shared with us, “I am so grateful to you and the LIFE program. During these tough times, to have you by my side is very reassuring. I hope one day to be able to pay it forward.”
