Fort Bend Family Promise
Fort Bend Family Promise is part of a national organization that was created to provide shelter, meals, and comprehensive support to families without homes. Christ Church serves as a host church 4-5 weeks a year for homeless families in our area. During our host week, rooms in the Family Life Center are set up as bedrooms for the family and over night hosts. There is also a hospitality room where evening meals are served to the families.
In 2008, Christ Church will serve as host church:
- February 3-10
- April 13-20
- June 15-22
- August 17-24
- November 2-9
During our rotation weeks there is a need for countless volunteers to help set up the first Sunday afternoon, prepare evening meals for the families, serve as dinner hosts, overnight hosts, and possibly provide transportation for the families. There is always a need for volunteers during the day at the Family Center located at New Hope Lutheran Church.
Another area that Family Promise assists families with is transportation. To date, 4 donated vehicles have been given to families who had unreliable or no transportation. The program accepts vehicles in working condition for families in need. If you have a vehicle that you would like to donate to the program, contact Lyn Storm, Executive Director of Fort Bend Family Promise, at 281.403.3923.
