Help with costs at St. James and the FP Day Center

In March, when COVID-19 hit our community we were unsure of how we were going to continue serving families and keep them safe. That is when St. James Episcopal Church stepped in and offered their space to us as a static site location.

Fast forward 7 months later and we are still in the middle of a pandemic with no end in sight. In a time where many businesses closed their doors, together, we persevered and continued to keep families safe, warm, and secure. We even doubled our shelter bed capacity by opening a second location.

During this time, Saint James has graciously covered our utilities and made small repairs in the building at no cost to Family Promise.

Today, we are asking for your help.

Due to the amazing idea of a few of our church partners, we are graciously asking you to reach out to your congregations and ask for their financial support.

We want to show St. James Rectory some love, by donating funds to cover utilities and upgrade the space, so families feel more at home and most importantly, so we can continue to utilize this space.

Any funding raised over $20,000 will be utilized to do the same upgrades at our Day Center, since this was an expense we didn’t account for in our budget either.

Thank you for all your support, generosity, and dedication to our mission.
