Family Move-In! We are excited to share that one of the family’s in our program graduated this month! Alea remained goal-oriented and determined to find a permanent home for her and her five-year-old son. In her own words, “I have things on my mind that I need to get finished and it’s like a list in my brain that I’m like “check, check, check” and I won’t stop until I get all of it fully checked off.” Among the goals she checked off her list was getting a new job, saving and most recently, finding a place for her and her son!  If you’d like to help Alea settle into her new home, her wish list includes cleaning supplies and a vacuum. To schedule a time to drop off any of these items, call the office at 310-782-8196 or donate online and in the comments include, “Family Move-In.” Thank you!

Giving Day - Help Us Spread the Word

On Wednesday, April 21st, Family Promise of the South Bay will join affiliates countrywide for Family Promise Giving Day. Early giving will open on April 14th.  Our goal is to reach more people and spread awareness about family homelessness in our community. We hope you’ll join us in reaching our goal by giving HERE beginning on April 14th! Another great way to help is by creating your own peer-to-peer fundraiser on behalf of our Giving Day Page. This way, you will have a personal fundraising page where you can set your own fundraising goal, share a personal story, and can easily reach your network to share why this cause is important to you!  If you’re interested, we've created a video and written a post to help walk you through the process of setting up your fundraiser so that it's tied to our Giving Day Page:  Video Tutorial Blog Post with Written Steps

Community Lunches Here’s a look at one of our first small volunteer events at one of the transitional homes. Volunteers from City Church of Long Beach have been incredible, providing and sharing meals with the families and playing with the kids in the home. We’re hopeful that we’ll have more interaction as the year moves forward!
