Hello Friend!

At the time of posting this message, there are 12 hours left of 2024. That means you still have 12 hours (or less!) to get in that last tax-deductible donation of 2024! As the year comes to a close, we'd like to share a few stats with you...

In 2024, Family Promise of Butler County provided shelter and in-house support services to-

• 24 families, including

• 27 adults and

• 36 children,

• seven of which were under the age of 5

These are 24 families that were living in their cars, in cheap motels under deplorable conditions, on the floors of friends and family (the lucky ones), and even on the street. They came to us broken and without much hope. 

Thanks to generous contributions of people like you, we were able to provide the support they needed to get back on their feet and into sustainable housing.

Through our new "hybrid shelter model," that we officially launched August 1, we were able to keep the families out of hotels, which drain our resources, and make it harder to have one-on-one time with the families. While we continue to utilize our congregations to provide shelter and meals most weeks, on the weeks when none were available we were able to host the families overnight at our Day Center.

THANK YOU to the congregations who continue to provide shelter and support, and THANK YOU ALL for your gifts of funding, furniture and other necessary items needed to make our house a (temporary) home!
