Many of you have asked how you can help during our organization’s time of transition, and we have an answer for you! Please help determine our future.
As you may know, Family Promise of Sarasota has experienced several significant challenges that have caused us to suspend operations until they are resolved.
As a concerned stakeholder of this ministry,
we ask that you join us for a meeting on Thursday, February 15
th
at 7:00 PM in Temple Beth Sholom’s Social Hall to discuss the future of Family Promise in our community.
Thank you so much for your support during the past ten years. In that time, we have successfully served over 110 families (that is 342 individuals, of which 203 were children). While we do not deal in large volumes, we have huge, lasting effects on these children and their families. Thank you for helping us serve them and put them on the road to sustainability.
We are asking all who have a vital interest in helping homeless children and their families in Sarasota County to join us on February 15. We especially would like a representative from each of our congregations to attend and participate.
Clergy, coordinators, volunteers, and all interested citizens are invited. Please consider bringing a friend who might be willing to get involved. Forward this email to them. And
here is a Facebook event you can share as well.
The focus of the meeting is to provide an overview of the status of Family Promise of Sarasota and determine if we have the volunteer support needed to continue operations. One of our objectives for this meeting will be to recruit people who can help plan and organize the resources necessary to continue serving children and families who are facing homelessness.
If you have questions, please call Tom Cioffi of the national Family Promise organization at 770-846-9898 or reply to this email.
Thank you in advance for your support and participation in this critical meeting.
