Imagine a family doing everything they can to keep up with everyday expenses. Mom is working, the bills are paid one by one, and SNAP benefits help keep food on the table. But when rent increases, gas prices climb, utility bills grow, and additional paperwork is required to maintain benefits, the family begins to feel the strain.

What we are seeing: For households already that are already living paycheck to paycheck, even a modest increase in expenses can force difficult choices between paying rent, keeping the lights on, filling the gas tank, or buying groceries. For many families, a single setback can put both housing and reliable access to healthy food at risk.

That's why community support matters. When families face unexpected challenges and essential resources become harder to access, Family Promise is there to help them remain housed, keep food on the table, and move toward a more stable future.

You are the reason that hope and resilience remain strong at Family Promise.  Every day, we are reminded that hope is strongest when shared, and your support helps families build stability, strength, and a path forward. See the real difference in our 2025 - 2026 Impact Report.

As we enter this season of gratitude and giving, from Thanksgiving through the holidays, your support will continue to uplift families, restore dignity, and bring joy where it is needed most.

Here are ways that you can help:

An evening of fellowship, generosity, and community made Hope for Homes 2026 a tremendous success. More than 100 guests were registered for the annual fundraiser, held at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer on October 1. United by a shared commitment to helping local families overcome homelessness and hunger, friends, sponsors, donors, board members, volunteers, and staff came together for an inspiring evening filled with hope, connection, and purpose. Guests enthusiastically participated in a lively Fund-a-Need paddle raise and an exciting live auction, creating meaningful opportunities to support our mission. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our community, the event raised more than $100,000 to support Family Promise's housing, food, and graduate self-sufficiency programs.

At Family Promise, we believe our community is strongest when every family has a safe place to call home and access healthy food. The success of Hope for Homes is a powerful reminder of what is possible when neighbors come together to support one another. Watch the event video to see the impact of generosity and the lives being changed through your support. Thank you for standing with Family Promise and the families we serve.

Save the date for Hope for Homes next year on September 30, 2027.

Family Promise was honored to participate in the Sukkot service at Or Hadash. As part of the celebration, congregation members packed 219 meals containing pasta, mixed vegetables, and bread for Caring for Friends to distribute to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. The event was a wonderful example of community members coming together to support those in need.

Following the meal packing project, representatives from Caring for Friends and Family Promise shared information about their work in the community. Jennifer H., Or Hadash's Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) Coordinator, highlighted ways congregation members can get involved, and Sue D., IHN Coordinator at Jarrettown United Methodist Church, shared a letter from a former family whose life was impacted by the IHN. As a Buddy Congregation, Or Hadash plays an important role in supporting families during IHN hosting weeks and helping families on their journey toward stability.

A heartfelt thank you to John Kennedy Ford Dealership for donating 150 new children's coats.

A huge thank you to the amazing team at Progressive for lending a helping hand at Family Promise. Team members rolled up their sleeves to remove carpet and deep-clean an apartment, helping us prepare the space for a family to move in as quickly as possible. Their hard work and dedication are making a real difference in our community, ensuring families have access to a safe, secure place to call home. Thank you, Progressive, for your continued support and for helping create brighter futures for families in Montgomery County.

What does gratitude in action look like? Members of the Family Promise team experienced it firsthand at Wayne Presbyterian Church's Gratitude Gala, where the Stewardship Committee celebrated the many ways, God is working through the congregation and its outreach ministries. We were honored to be recognized as one of the church's 38 mission partners, each playing a role in serving individuals and families throughout the community. Family Promise is deeply grateful for its partnership with Wayne Presbyterian Church and the many ways congregation members support our mission throughout the year.  

What happens when a community invests in hope, health, and stability for local families? Family Promise is honored to be selected as a recipient of a grant from the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation. As part of a nationwide day of giving, Sprouts stores across the country presented grants to local nonprofit organizations working to strengthen their communities. This generous funding will help us continue providing critical support to families experiencing homelessness and hunger through our housing and food assistance programs. Thank you!
