Exciting News & Updates!

Hello Sandra,

Much has been happening since Family Promise held its first Community Meeting on June 21, 2022. Here are the highlights:

Carolyn Gordon, Director of Developing Affiliates, presented the Family Promise Network model and provided valuable information to help form the FPNSV Leadership Team. These dedicated volunteers launched the new affiliate and are putting the pieces in place to begin servicing families who are experiencing homelessness.
In August, FPNSV became a registered non-profit, tax-exempt organization.
Meetings are occurring with City officials, architects, developers, and other partners about the use of the Market Street UMC space as the Family Promise office, day center, and emergency transitional housing.
Social media and fundraising platforms have been developed and posted on our new website: www.familypromisensv.org
The Board is participating in a strategic planning session this month to help guide program development.

Matching Grant Opportunity!

$5,000 Match Needed

In January, Family Promise NSV was awarded a Family Promise National Housing and Stabilization Grant through the Clayton Homes’ “A Future Begins at Home” initiative. The $15,000 award will allow us to set up an office at Market Street UMC so we can begin providing prevention and stabilization assistance to families in Winchester and Frederick County who are at risk of becoming homeless.

We need your help to meet the matching goal of $5,000! You can make a donation and designate it to “Matching Grant” by clicking the button below or on our website through givelify.com.
