Become a Volunteer
Family Promise has been partnering with the community to address homelessness and hunger since 1989. We move families from homelessness to independence with our housing programs, located in Ambler, Norristown, and Lansdale, and we provide food at our pantry in Roslyn. And we love volunteers!
Volunteer Opportunities
There are lots of ways you can get involved. At our food pantry, volunteers sort and weigh donations, pack food bags, transport food, and assist clients. Volunteers assist with our emergency shelter by providing meals, transportation, and overnight assistance. Volunteers also help in our office, process in-kind donations, maintain our properties, and much, much more. There’s something for everyone! Watch the video to learn more and scroll down to apply.
