Thank you for standing with children and families in 2025!

Dear friends,

As we welcome a new year, our hearts are full of gratitude of you. Because of your compassion, commitment, and belief in families facing housing crises, January begins not with uncertainty - but with hope.

Over the past year, your support allowed 2,262 families, including 3,478 children. Each of those numbers represents something deeply human: a child sleeping safely through the night, a parent focusing on work or school instead of survival, and a family taking meaningful steps toward lasting stability. Together, we provided comprehensive support that helped families achieve housing as quickly as possible and begin a new chapter grounded in dignity and possibility.

None of this happens alone. It happens because donors choose to give, volunteer choose to show up, faith communities open their doors, and partners walk alongside families during some of their most vulnerable moments. This is community-powered impact in action - and you are at the heart of it.

As we look ahead, we are inspired by what's possible when compassion meets action. The need remains real, but so does our collective ability to respond with solutions that work and pathways that last. Because of you, more families will move from crisis to stability, and more children will grow up knowing what it means to have a safe place to rest their head at night.

Thank you for making this work possible. Thank you for believing in families. And thank you for starting this new year with us - full of hope and purpose.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Andrea Brantley

Executive Director

Because of support from donors, volunteers, and the community, Family Promise had a record-breaking year with the number of families and children who found stability. The need continues to grow in our area, and we are so grateful to all of our supporters who believe in our mission and
