Gabby Moves Home!
After more than four years of working toward her housing goals, Family Promise guest, Gabby, moved into her own home! Gabby first connected with Family Promise in 2018 when she visited Our Promise Drop-In Resource Center while experiencing homelessness.
As she continued to work toward her goals, Gabby completed an Emergency Housing Voucher application with her case manager in 2021, which was approved soon after! Gabby then began her housing search with the help of our Landlord Support Program team. To her excitement, Gabby's nearly five-year journey to find housing came to an end on December 1, 2022 when she moved into her new home. Gabby enjoyed celebrating the holidays in the comfort and safety of her own special place!
Congrats to Gabby, and thank you to our hard-working staff for helping her reach her housing goals and begin a new journey of independence and stability!

Miranda's Pajama Drive
For her Girl Scouts Gold Award, Miranda chose Family Promise to be the recipient of her community service. Miranda felt passionate about making sure the children in our programs received a new pair of pajamas and are made to feel special.
Miranda will continue to collect new pajamas for Family Promise twice per year in the cold and warm weather.
Thank you, Miranda, for bringing some excitement and comfort to the little ones we serve!
