28 Apr Happy to Help

For more than six years, John has been a steady and compassionate presence for families served through our Interfaith Hospitality Networks (IHN). He began volunteering in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, shortly after becoming a deacon at First Presbyterian Church of Ambler, and his commitment has remained strong ever since. From helping lead his congregation’s IHN support efforts to assisting with moves into host congregations, setting up beds and cots, and working alongside Family Promise staff, John approaches each role with care, humility, and reliability. Through his volunteering, he has gained a deeper understanding of housing instability and a strong appreciation for the resilience of the families we serve. John believes that being part of the Family Promise community means showing up, listening, and offering steady support, knowing that even small actions can make a lasting difference. He is simply happy to help, and that spirit, shared by our volunteers, is felt by everyone who works alongside him.
