*{{First Name}}* ,

Recently, the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners took time to shine a well‑deserved spotlight on Marsha Eichelberger, our Chief Executive Officer, recognizing her heartfelt service and community‑centered leadership. It was a powerful moment to uplift not only Marsha’s individual impact, but also the promise in action that Family Promise lives out every day.

Since joining Family Promise Montco in 2013, Marsha has focused on strengthening programs that meet people where they are, without judgment, and help families across Montgomery County overcome housing and food insecurity. Under her leadership, Family Promise has grown into a trusted, innovative, and compassionate partner for families navigating some of life’s most difficult moments.

During the recognition, State Representatives Gregory Scott and Ben Sanchez, former Montco Controller Karen Sanchez, the current Abington Township tax collector, and a representative from Congresswoman Madeleine Dean’s office joined the Commissioners. They expressed deep gratitude for Marsha’s unwavering commitment to serving local families and her tireless efforts to end homelessness and hunger throughout the county.

Commissioner Winder captured the spirit of Marsha’s work when she shared one of Marsha’s favorite sayings. “The work is about helping those who have too much on their mind and not enough food on their dinner plate. It is really that simple.” She went on to commend Marsha for her leadership, compassion, and dedication to public service, adding that Montgomery County is truly lucky to have her.

Commissioner Makhija highlighted the real‑world impact of Family Promise’s work, noting that the organization has housed families, helped them get back on their feet after experiencing homelessness, and fed those who are hungry, all with extraordinary community support. “Marsha, thank you for leading and inspiring so much of the work we are seeing across Montgomery County,” he shared.

Commissioner DiBello echoed those sentiments, emphasizing that leaders like Marsha help make county programs and services successful. He shared that she is loved and beloved and praised her amazing work and the difference it continues to make.

State Representative Ben Sanchez recognized Marsha’s innovation and leadership at the Family Promise Food Pantry located on the Salem Baptist Church campus, highlighting the commitment to offering families full‑choice access to fresh and healthy food, delivered with love and dedication. Along with Representative Greg Scott, he presented Marsha with a formal commendation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, signed by the entire Montgomery County delegation, thanking her for her tireless service to the community. Marsha was also recognized by Senator Madeleine Dean for her outstanding contributions.

Reflecting on the recognition she received, Marsha focused on the collective impact of the work. “I am most proud of the growth in our staff and the number of people we serve,” she shared. “Last year, we helped 120 people through our housing programs, more than 2,500 people accessed our food pantry, and we continued to expand through collaboration, innovation, and partnerships that strengthen how we serve families.” She also highlighted updates to facilities, expanded rental assistance, food lockers, and the recent partnership with Family Promise of the Main Line that has created a stronger Family Promise serving Montgomery County. Marsha reinforced why the work matters, noting that many of us come from a world of enough, while the families we serve do not, as they navigate systems shaped by policy and circumstance. “We owe it to the world to do what we can, to make change, and to see improvement.”

This recognition is a celebration of Marsha’s authenticity, leadership, and unwavering belief in the dignity of every family. It is also a reflection of what happens when promise is put into action through compassion, partnership, and a shared commitment to ensuring every family has a place to call home and food on the table.

The Wissahickon Faith Community Association’s (WFCA) annual MLK Jr. Remembrance Service, held on Sunday, February 1, brought together community members from diverse houses of worship to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sponsored by WFCA and the Suburban Baptist Association, the service was hosted by Bethlehem Baptist Church (BBC) and the Rev. Charles W. Quann, celebrating Dr. King’s enduring values of peace, justice, and equality.

The celebration offered an opportunity for community leaders and residents to recommit to Dr. King’s vision by strengthening relationships and inspiring collective action toward a more inclusive society. The keynote speaker was the Rev. Dr. Alyn E. Waller, senior pastor of Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church. Congratulations to the 2026 award recipients: Michelle Taylor‑Bradley, Deaconess, BBC, Keeper of the Dream; the Rev. Dr. Albert Davis Jr., Pastor, Mount Calvary Baptist Church, Justice and Peace; Emma Hertz, CEO,  HealthSpark Foundation, Inter‑Faith; Robert Kreamer, CEO, the Boys & Girls Club, Community Service; and Liz Cammarota, founder of Do Better 4 Steve, The Prophetic Voice.

Volunteers generously dedicated their time and talents in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., assisting Family Promise with a variety of hands‑on projects. Four groups, Olde City Day School, Toll Brothers Land Development, Toll Brothers Human Resources, and Toll Brothers Information Technology, helped with apartment turnovers, deep cleaning, organizing the shoppe, and installing a new apartment floor. We are grateful for their dedication to Family Promise and for the strong community support that makes this work possible. Thank you!

As temperatures drop, keeping children warm and confident becomes a challenge for many families. Thanks to the generosity of John Kennedy Subaru, in partnership with Operation Warm® and the Subaru Loves to Help® initiative, Family Promise Montco PA has received a delivery of brand-new shoes and socks to support children in urgent need. This donation will enable Family Promise Montco PA to distribute the essential items directly to children in the community, ensuring they have the warmth and comfort needed during the harsh winter months. “When children have access to sturdy shoes and cozy socks, it directly impacts their health, confidence, and ability to thrive,” said LaToya our Director of Programs. Acts of generosity like this make a meaningful difference for the families we serve and remind us of the power of compassionate community partnerships.

Nancy’s dedication to the mission of Family Promise is evident in everything she does. She consistently goes above and beyond for the families served by Family Promise, not only as the Congregation Beth Or Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) coordinator but throughout the entire year. Whenever additional support is needed, Nancy is among the first volunteers to step forward, offering her time, energy, and thoughtful ideas to strengthen the program. She skillfully manages the many details involved while also providing hands‑on support, from taking families grocery shopping when transportation is a barrier to helping them locate essential items, such as furniture, as they transition out of the program. Her reliability, initiative, and compassion make a lasting difference for both families and staff.

As Beth Or Rabbi Jason Bonder notes, Jewish tradition teaches that we are all created “B’tzelem Elohim,” meaning “in the image of God.” Nancy lives out this teaching by recognizing the divine spark within those in need of support and nurturing the light within those who are able to give their time and resources. For nearly two decades, Nancy has shined a light on the needs in our community and reminded us that we are called by our values and tradition to help others. Family Promise and Beth Or are incredibly fortunate to have Nancy and appreciate her impact on our community.
