Recently we had a family come through Family Promise of Butler County whose head of household had an 11th-grade education with $65 dollars in the bank. After spending 30 days in our program, she was equipped with a list of resources throughout the county and worked with our Shelter Manager to define a budget that would work for her family. Our congregations loved her and her family well through hosting, feeding, and even providing gas cards. While still here, she found a new job in the culinary industry where she received two promotions in two months. Now she makes $12 more per hour than her former job at a drive-thru, is working on getting her HiSET, housing her family in a small apartment and saving for a better vehicle. Because of the budgeting skills obtained while at FPBC, she is saving almost 40% of her take-home pay to better the life for her and her family. Thank you to all who played a part in changing the story of this family. Because of her time with FPBC, and the great love she was shown by our host congregations, she is a living success story.

The need here in Butler County has never been greater for FPBC services and the demand is only increasing during these uncertain times. Whether you donated to, volunteered at, advocated for or attended a FPBC event, you HAVE made an impact in the lives of these Butler County families and we are so grateful to you!
