We are all Family Promise. YOU are all Family Promise. A timely message from our President and Founder, Carrie Corliss, at our Second Rotation Expansion meeting. This program works because of YOU!
We saw and heard some amazing things tonight. New Congregations excited about future expansion. Graduates speaking on behalf of our program. Team members sharing opportunities to be involved. And our hearts all united in this great mission to empower families.
Hope Changes the Story has been our motto for quite some time. And next we are setting out on a new adventure, to extend this hope to TWICE as many families in Wichita.
This decision has not come lightly. Beginning in 2016, our Core Team of volunteers saw the need and chose to ACT. Other teams and groups have come alongside that effort over time, and we have grown and learned much. The need for local families continues, and now a new wave of excitement and friends have been drafted in.
Already, NINE congregations have committed to host families — we only need FOUR MORE!
The map above indicates current Host Congregations (blue), Support Congregations (green), considering Host Congregations (yellow), and ALL-IN Second Rotation Host Congregations (red). THANK YOU! All our Congregations are listed here.
To serve TWICE as many families, we are building community support, have hired a second Case Manager, and need to raise additional funds so that we can partner with families in a homeless circumstance, to achieve their own goals and dream their own dreams.
Besides Congregations, we need YOU! You can join a team, raise funds, and help spread the word. Everyone has a spot. What will your part be?
