Dear Friends,

It is that time of the year when we all give thanks to those that matter most in our lives. The Family Promise of Butler County Staff and Board of Directors wish to express their deepest gratitude to YOU, our biggest supporters. 

FPBC’s mission of ensuring all kids in Butler County have a place to call home would not be possible without you and we do not take that for granted. Each year in Butler County, over 1,000 children experience homelessness with their families. Because of you, FPBC was, to date, able to help provide shelter, meals, and services to 38 families, consisting of 56 adults and 78 children.

One of the families served during 2022 lived in their car for 2 months before finding FPBC. Tracy, along with her son, and husband, Jonah, entered our shelter earlier this year. Jonah was involved in an accident where he was hit by a drunk driver. He not only lost his car, but his injuries were life-threatening. Jonah eventually recovered but sustained significant disabilities and is now unable to work. While under FPBC’s care, Tracy was able to obtain employment and Jonah completed his social security disability claim. Due to becoming financially stable once again, the family was able to obtain a 2-bedroom apartment close to Tracy’s job and Jonah cares for their little kindergartner after school.
