in Good to know
Earlier this month, one of the young girls in our emergency shelter program, D., celebrated her 10th birthday. Thanks to the incredible teamwork and compassion of staff and volunteers, it was a day filled with joy.
When D. returned home from school, Family Promise staff surprised her with a gift and card. Later that evening, a birthday cake and candles were delivered to the host congregation, St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, so that all the families and dinner volunteers could join in the celebration. St. Mary’s also provided festive birthday balloons to make the evening extra special.
Moments like these remind us that every act of kindness matters. Together, we create not just shelter, but memories that bring hope and joy.
