Family Promise News

Learning As We Go

The past month has been full of learning opportunities. From the 'what not to dos' to the 'we should do that again', we have had our fair share of teachable moments. We are grateful to our host & support congregations, other agencies, and volunteers who have been gracious as we continue to learn our processes, fine tune our procedures. 
One of our families was able to find a house for rent and is now living in her new home with her daughter. Please keep them both in your prayers as they adjust to life in a new surrounding.


We now have 3 family spots available. Pray that families find the courage to face their reality and the strength to ask for help. It is a difficult thing to accept that you are homeless . 

We've updated our list. We have a young girl (11) who is need of some warmer clothes as it gets colder outside, as well as a 16 year old boy who needs something thicker than a fleece. Your support & generosity will be very appreciated.   .https://amzn.com/w/1Q01GP535KTN1

Also, as you do your Christmas shopping, please consider helping us out too! Go to, smile.amazon.com, find "Family Promise of Forsyth County" and a percentage of  your purchase will help homeless families in our county. 
After working with the finance coach at, The Place, for a week one mom was able to see where her money had been going. Just this past Friday, mom was able to open her very first savings account! She had this to say, "Normally, I'm out of money. But now, I know I can save." Please continue to pray for our families as they make changes in their thinking and actions to help them escape homelessness. 

We have launched our year-end giving campaign. As you make your preparations for year end giving, please remember Forsyth's homeless children and their families. http://www.fpforsyth.org

Mark your calendars now!
On Tuesday, May 16th 2017, Elite Roofing & Restoration, will be hosting a golf tournament, at The Manor Golf & Country Club, to support Forsyth's homeless family. We hope you will put together a team and join for us this fun and purposeful day.

More information will follow!



We need weekend volunteers to cover our day center. This allows our families' home base to be available when they need it. Please choose a two hour slot today by clicking here.
