Become a Partner Organization
Volunteers of all faiths changing lives
​
​
We recognize the need for a long-term shelter option that serves families in Aiken County. Family Promise intends to create a transitional shelter program that will be coupled with case management for homeless families that cannot be successfully served under our Prevention or Shelter Diversion programs.
​
Until we provide transitional shelter, there are other ways that your congregation or organization can provide support for the families we serve. This includes serving on a committee, referring families in need of services, raising funds, or providing meals and childcare for our community Keys to Good Tenancy course.
​
HOST CONGREGATIONS
Once we create a shelter, we will partner with local houses of worship and other community organizations to provide teams of volunteers to support sheltered families. Volunteers may be involved in many ways, including the following:
-
Cooking and hosting dinner
-
Spending the evening with families, talking, tutoring kids or playing games
-
Coordinating children’s crafts & activities
-
Donating necessary supplies for the hosting week​
-
Referring families to the shelter
-
Answering the phone
-
Supporting families after they exit shelter as they secure stable housing
-
Providing volunteer support for Day Center activities and needs
We Need Your Help - Become A Host!
