December Goals Update

What a way to end 2020!
We can't say THANK YOU enough to everyone for helping FPAC and our families get through such an unpredictable year. Thank you to everyone for giving such a good start to 2021!
Volunteer Opportunities
With the pantry still doing curbside and the weather being so cold we need volunteers to help in the Diaper & Hygiene Pantry. If you are interested please let us know! We need volunteers on Thursdays (sometimes Tuesdays) for about 2 hours at a time. Learn More

Taverna Promessa
As many of you know, February is when we hold our big fundraiser Taverna Promessa! (previously called Trattoria Promessa). This year the Promessa event will be virtual. The live event will be on Saturday, February 20th and the silent auction will be completely online. You can start bidding on auction items the week before the event!

Tickets will include 1 charcuterie/appetizer tray (enough for 2 people), a bottle of Mediterranean wine, a link to the virtual event, and an event activity packet. Tickets can be purchased on our website by Jan 11th (if not sooner). Prices are $60 a ticket.

As a non-profit, we rely on fundraisers and generous donors to keep our program operating. In previous years Promessa has raised 20% of our operating costs for the whole year. These are challenging times so any contributions made are greatly needed. Please consider donating to or sponsoring Taverna Promessa.

Thank you!

PS- Have an item you think would do well in the silent auction? Send us an email at vista.familypromise82070@gmail.com
Thank You!
A big THANK YOU to all of our supporters throughout 2020. Thanks to you we were able to shelter families without any gaps in services, keep the pantry filled with diapers and hygiene essentials, and help prevent families from being evicted.

Thank you to Big Hollow for raising money for United Way -with a portion of funds designated to Family Promise of Albany County!
