Family Promise Giving Day

About Family Promise Giving Day

Family Promise Giving Day is a 24-hour online giving campaign to raise awareness and funds for Family Promise. We believe a Future Begins at Home. Preventing a family in need from becoming homeless is the most effective way to address the crisis of family homelessness. Today, families battling homelessness need our help more than ever. With our prevention and diversion initiatives we can help prevent families from experiencing homelessness and help those that do find alternatives to shelter. Join us today!

A PATH FORWARD

Welcome to Family Promise Rochester’s “A PATH FORWARD” campaign! We are making the biggest change this organization has seen since our doors opened in 2001–we have relocated our entire operations to a new facility! Since the start of the global pandemic, Family Promise Rochester has not been effectively able to serve out the mission of helping families experiencing homelessness in our community. That said, our leadership and Board of Directors were forced to think of new and innovative ways to shelter in the face of so much uncertainty.

The Big MOVE from 811 7th St NW to 913 1st St. NW

If you stopped by our day center on 7th Street, you may have noticed the limited space, as well as the safety concerns, when it came to sheltering on-site. After much evaluation we decided to say goodbye to twenty great years at the old location and hello to a new, fresh start closer to downtown.

Static Site: So what does that mean?

At the new location, Family Promise Rochester will be operating a “Static Site”. At this new building we will be able to safely shelter families, operate a day center, house staff, and have room to grow–all while engaging our congregations and volunteers in our mission! Each host/buddy site will continue to provide the same outstanding supports that were provided in our rotational shelter model.
