My team and I are proud to host a donation drive in support of Family Promise next week. The mission of Family Promise is to empower families with children experiencing homelessness to achieve self-sufficiency through partnerships, services, and advocacy. Families with children comprise 35% of the homeless population nationwide. Homeless kids are 9x more likely to repeat a grade, and over half of all homeless children in the US are under the age of 5. Family Promise uses four key programs - Prevention, Shelter, Stabilizations, and Community Initiatives - to empower families, create solutions, and build community.
The need in our community is great - Family Promise served over 1600 individuals in 2021 alone, a 685% increase in families served over the last two years. The items listed above are ones the program is always in need of to keep families in their shelter locations safe and clean.
If you'd like to drop off your donation, you can do so between 9AM-5PM on April 25th - 29th at our Downtown Bozeman office, 424 E. Main Street, Suite 1. Your support is greatly appreciated!
