Didn’t we just host Family Promise? Yes! And now we get to do so again starting the Sunday after Thanksgiving…and also the week of January 2. The pace will slow after that. Specifically, we next host November 28-December 5…a great way to start Advent and share our Thanksgiving blessings. COVID is driving homelessness up again, so we especially need your help now.
Like last time, we will only have one overnight host, although couples remain welcome. We again need move in and move out crews on the Sundays. We are also asking that one family per night drop off dinner for the guests. Unlike our traditional approach, we are asking that the dinner provider NOT dine with the guests to maintain COVID social distancing.
We are still requesting grocery and gas gift cards. These will be used 4 ways: 1) for the coordinators to purchase breakfast, lunch, snack, milk, tea, etc. 2) for the guests if we have a night where no one volunteers to provide dinner, 3) gas for guests, and 4) occasional urgent needs for other homeless children and parents in the community who are not in our program (yet).
