March 2024



Happy Spring to all, it's great to see warmer days are ahead of us!

Family Promise Northern Shenandoah Valley has been very busy for the first three months of 2024. We very are excited to provide you with an update on what we've been doing!

Robin Russell, Program Coordinator, and Emma Bridges, Financial Counselor, are currently working with 19 families living in local motels, providing them with case management services and financial education. Three families have moved into permanent housing. Another family received prevention services which helps to keep families in their current housing.

Our FPNSV family has grown! Two families have welcomed babies and another baby will be welcomed in the next month!

FPSNV believes every child deserves a home and without your continued support, we would not be able to help local families experiencing homelessness or housing instability.

May you and your families have a Blessed Easter season!

Upcoming Fundraising Events

Family Promise Giving Day is April 11, 2024. Family Promise Giving Day is a 24-hour campaign to raise support for families facing homelessness. Your support on Giving Day gives families in need hope for the future. Join us on April 11th - because every child deserves a home!

We are proud to say we will have parade seats available for this year's Apple Blossom parades on Friday, May 3rd, and Saturday, May 4th. Chairs will be located in front of Flowers by Snellings florist at 23 North Braddock Street and at 521 South Washington Street. A big thank you goes to Flowers by Snellings and Dr. & Mrs. Norman Smith for allowing us to utilize their spaces.

We are not charging per seat but asking for a donation to Family Promise. Anyone who would like to reserve seats should call Family Promise at 540-323-8038 or email info@familypromisensv.org.

May 15th is International Day of Families. To celebrate Family Promise NSV is holding a fundraising event at Panera Bread from 4 pm to 8 pm. Studies show families that eat meals together can strengthen family bonds and communication, promote healthier eating, and lower stress levels. So bring your family out to enjoy a meal and help FPNSV help families experiencing homelessness—more information coming in April.

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream! We will be having another event this summer with Pack's Cones N' More, 522 North location, date and times to be determined.

Join us for another restaurant fundraiser at TGIFridays on July 18th from 11 am to 10 pm. Here's another chance to support us by having a meal out with your family and/or friends! More information coming in June.

Keep an eye out for more information on Family Promise Week and A Night Without a Bed coming this Fall.
