Just under a year ago, several local churches in Southern Ocean County, NJ committed to ban together to provide shelter and food for local families in need.
With barely a year under it's 'belt' the Family Promise program has grown. The list of participants waiting to get into the program continues to increase.
The churches that are 'host sites' are plugging along. However, as anyone in service work knows, volunteer burn-out is common. The men and women who give freely of their time, talent and resources need a break too.
Now is the perfect time for churches and civic groups to come together and offer support to the host sites. Help can come in many different forms.
Supplies are always in need, prepared meals, volunteers to spend the night, set-up & break-down crews...you get the idea.
No action or donation is too small. Please consider giving of yourself to this program.
