Hello Elise,
Santa visited us the families of FPTV last week! Family Promise of Tualatin Valley partnered with many local faith communities, businesses, and the City of Tigard this holiday season to offer a robust array of holiday activities. This included a visit with Santa, a concert, a solstice party, and more! We also had a room dedicated to parents “shopping” for presents for their children with special options for teenagers, who are often missed during gift drives. Creating these meaningful experiences for shelter guests helps make a difference for those we serve.
While Oregon tragically ranks number first in the nation in unsheltered family homelessness, FPTV is proud to have added shelter capacity for families this year, and we will continue working to ensure access to shelter for all families in need.
