Sharing Our Exciting News!

Hello Sandra,

We are excited to share with you the impact Family Promise NSV

is making in the community. In just two short months, Robin, our amazing Program Coordinator, has engaged with more than 20 families with children at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness in the Winchester area.

She assesses their immediate needs and connects them to local resources for food, diapers, employment, etc. The support does not stop there, however. Robin also works tirelessly with the parent(s) to identify obstacles that threaten their housing security and family stability and devises a plan to

help them move beyond their current situation.

Family Promise NSV's mission is to empower families and

communities to end the cycle of homelessness. We need you to help us

fulfill that mission because every child deserves a home.

Don't wait – join us today and help us end the cycle of homelessness one family at a time. Read on to find out how you can get involved.

Thanks for Your Support!

Apple Blossom Festival Fundraiser

Family Promise NSV had a successful fundraiser selling parade seats for the Apple Blossom Festival.

A HUGE THANKS to Snelling Florists for offering space in front of their store for our chairs and to their friendly neighbors who shared a bit of

Apple Blossom history with Family Promise

board members, volunteers, and parade watchers.

Power of Change Grant Award

Family Promise NSV was awarded a $5,000 grant from Power of Change through Rappahannock Electric Cooperative. Funds will be used to provide housing support as families transition from homelessness into housing.

United Methodist Church Support

The board and staff of Family Promise NSV appreciate the support we received from the Shenandoah River District of the Virginia Conference of the United Methodist Church through a $5,000 grant awarded to Market Street

United Methodist for Family Promise NSV

and the special Easter Sunday offering from Braddock Street United Methodist Church.

Your Support Makes A Difference

We are grateful for the support we receive from individuals, organizations, and churches to continue Family Promise NSV's critical work of assisting families with children who are unstably housed or currently experiencing homelessness.

We welcome opportunities to share more about our ministry at your church, faith community, civic group, organization, or business.

Our Greatest Needs

As we engage families with children at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness, we are identifying the critical unmet needs of the families

we serve and those specific to the organization.

HOUSING

The current, most immediate family and organizational need is access to housing.

The Northern Shenandoah Valley is in the midst of an affordable housing crisis. Limited-income families with children are

disproportionately impacted.

Many have additional barriers that make renting a home nearly impossible.

Family Promise NSV's Board of Directors is seeking landlords and multi-family property owners to partner with us to help provide safe, affordable, stable housing

so we can begin ending the cycle of homelessness in our community.

Families that become "tenants" continue to receive case management services even after they sign a lease to ensure stability and continued progress on their journey to self-sufficiency.
