Thanks to our fantastic community, we raised over $35,000 at our 7th Annual Golf Event! All of that directly funds our programs to assist families in Cobb County move out of homelessness. We are blessed to have such generous sponsors, golfers, and volunteers. It was a gorgeous day, and we were honored to have as our guest speaker one of our graduates, Nicole, share her story. Check out our highlights video below or on our website.

As a donor, you have unlimited choices of places to give. If you have ever wondered why to give to an organization like Family Promise of Cobb County, check out the following story.

Securing housing is really, really tough for our families, even when they have met all their goals and have enough income and savings. Every family in our housing program has a previous eviction or credit challenge that keeps them from successfully getting into housing with private landlords. And the most crucial fact is that the supply of housing simply is NOT available. Having a dedicated case manager who is constantly researching housing options is one-way FPCC families have an advantage. Two recent FPCC graduates were able to move into brand new and furnished apartments thanks to the connection and advocacy of our FPCC case manager. Case management and housing advocates make a crucial difference for families to achieve self-sufficiency.

We want you to know that our programs work because of our community, because of you! This summer we saw the cycle of generosity and kindness. It always seems to show up at the right time! Read further to be inspired by your community of friends and neighbors.

• Brooklyn, a student at Due West Elementary, celebrated her birthday. Instead of gifts, she asked for school and household donations for our families. 
• Kirkwood Presbyterian made the decision to try hosting for the first time. Because of their willingness, two new families were treated to smiling faces and their beautiful West Cobb church campus while also having a safe place to rest with their families for a week.  
• We have had four babies born while their families lived in our housing programs. This summer one of them was a happy healthy baby boy. One of our previous housing graduates returned to donate a trunkful of baby items that were donations that she was gifted when she had her baby during our stay with us.  
• The youth group at St. James Episcopal Church was looking for a project that would have meaning to other kids in the community. The swingset at the FPCC day center needed some TLC. The youth group came, cleaned, and re-painted it to make it look brand new. Now, kids for years to come will be able to for joy while playing outside at the day center.
