We, at Family Promise of Butler County are working hard to provide services to children and families in shelter. As our churches are, understandably, closing their doors in an attempt to protect their congregations, we must use our financial resources to house families in motel rooms and provide them with meals and essential items. In addition, FPBC is extending our outreach to families who have graduated from our program. We are checking in weekly with these graduates to help assess their needs. Many need help with food and personal care items, as their incomes have shrunk due to work layoffs and decreased hours. As this pandemic stretches further out, the needs will continue to increase, and we want to be ready to help in as many ways as we can.
