Family Promise of Gainesville News
Coronavirus response 2022:
Family Promise is still opening doors for local families and still engaging the community to achieve these goals.
We will not return to our previous rotational shelter structure until May 2022 or later.
-
When we lost our rotational shelter structure, we lost over $34,000 per month of in-kind support. Your donations will sustain our organization as we transition to a new shelter model. Every donation matters.
-
$2,000 is the average cost of preventing a family from losing their home in the first place. Donations can sponsor a family through the "Help Us Move In" program.
