News from Family Promise of Southern Ocean County

We began hosting families on December 26th at St. Mary's, and our first full week will be at Ocean Community beginning January 1. A great way to begin the new year, underway and with energized volunteers! Thanks so much to all who helped us in our relaunch project. We continue to interview families for participation, and will be reporting on families who are able to find sustainable housing through us. Thanks again!
