Cardboard Box Fund Raiser for Family Promise--Please Donate I am incredibly excited to share about Cardboard Box City (CBC) #10 which will be held on September 28 th . CBCX is a night to raise funds and awareness for Family Promise of Monmouth County (FPMC). On any given day in Monmouth County there are over 200 children who are homeless.   FPMC is the only emergency shelter which services these children and their families. At the event, participants will spend the night sleeping in cardboard boxes while exploring innovative solutions to end family homelessness. We raise funds via participants securing monetary donations from friends and family in support of their evening efforts.  This year the event is a momentous occasion for Family Promise of Monmouth County as it marks both the 10 th  year of our important CBC fundraiser and the first year we will be able to host it on the grounds of our long-awaited permanent home in Oceanport in old Fort Monmouth.  We are asking you, our friends, to support us in achieving this lofty goal. Please consider a donation to FPMC in honor of CBCX and most importantly help us all get one step closer to a solution to end family homelessness in both our communities and our nation.  Donations can be mailed directly to Family Promise of Monmouth County, 501 Malterer, Oceanport, NJ 07757. Or give a check to David Henritzy who serves as a member of the FPMC Board.

Due to the terrible destruction of Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas, we are inviting you to donate to UMCOR, our church’s relief agency. 100% of your money goes to help victims of natural disasters. Mark your check for UMCOR or donate online for UMCOR advance special 982450.
