We’ve got a poet in the Interfaith Hospitality Network, our emergency shelter. She says that writing helps her overcome her stress and anxiety—and she hopes that her poetry can inspire others. We just love the poem that she shared with us last month, and we think you will too. Thank

The stars were out at Wissahickon High School on Sunday, March 26! That’s when 12 contestants gathered to share their talents with the community—and raise money for families in need, with proceeds benefiting Family Promise and Do Better 4 Steve.

The spring rush is on at the pantry! We’re prepping for some great partnerships this spring, including the U.S. Postal Service’s Stamp Out Hunger on Saturday, May 13.

Actually, we appreciate our volunteers every month! But April is the official Volunteer Appreciation Month, and this month we’re highlighting a young volunteer from our Food Pantry.

Univest Financial has offered to contribute $1,500 to Family Promise Montco if we can sell an additional 150 tickets for the Super-Raffle before April 28. Now’s your chance to help families who need food and homes—enter to win great prizes—and GET MATCHED!

We want to share a thank you note we received from a pantry client, because it’s really for you…our donors and volunteers, who keep the pantry running.

In August of 2020, our Community Engagement Manager, Sue Zomberg, got an email out of the blue from Elder Jeffrey Gale, of the Church of Latter Day Saints’ missionary program in eastern Montgomery County.

The nearly two million Pennsylvanians receiving benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are facing a steep cut in their access to food this month. 

Here’s a real win-win. Purchase one or more tickets for our Super-Raffle and help families who need homes and food at the same time.

Most of us take transportation for granted. But for the families in our housing programs, routine activities like going to work, taking kids to school or daycare, and grocery shopping can be a challenge, with no car—or a car in poor repair. Our resident C was no exception. She had a car when she arrived at Hope Gardens, but it needed repairs constantly and was a huge drain on her budget.

Last fall on Giving Tuesday, Sinn Painting Inc. owner Andrew Sinn decided he wanted to give back to the community.

Attention golfers (and non-golfers)! The 26th Annual Golf Tournament and Super-Raffle is coming this spring!

There’s been a lot going on this month at Hope Gardens with not one, but two apartments to get ready for new residents!

You probably already know that we support our pantry clients with food, household items, and personal care supplies. But we also want to honor clients’ dignity and humanity by fulfilling their needs with respect and compassion. That’s why we were thrilled to host a huge group on MLK day spearheaded by the Phi Beta Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.

Is your church, synagogue, mosque, or other place of worship looking for a hands-on way to give back? If you are, we need you!

As 2022 ends and 2023 begins, we want to take a moment to thank you. We are grateful for your continued support and for your dedication to ensuring that families and children in Montgomery County have a place to live and enough to eat.

We’re still offering the chance for you to get a Google Career Certificate scholarship!

Looking back on 2022, we’ve been thinking, with gratitude, about all the ways the community supports our programs.
