Family Promise is one of only two local shelters providing a total of 10 openings in Grand Rapids that keep children and their families together. Families in our area are facing a desperate housing crisis due to foreclosure and rising unemployment. Children and their families are the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population. Keeping these families together while they endure this crisis is more important than ever.
All volunteers should attend the required one-hour training/orientation session before serving families. Trainings are held throughout the year at East Congregational Church.
Volunteer areas of need:
- Provide dinners
- Playtime supervision
- Help with move-in and bed setup
- Cleanup and bed move out
