Family Promise Opportunity
Family Promise, is a program which provides temporary shelter for homeless families. Temple Beth Zion is now a support site congregation for Family Promise of Western New York! We will be volunteering at Crossroads Lutheran Church (4640 Main Street, Amherst), located very close to the Broder Center. Our first host date will be on Wednesday, February 1. Future dates will be forthcoming in the summer and autumn depending on need and the availability of our volunteers.
You can volunteer! If you can't come to the church to volunteer, you can cook or donate meals. We need people to cook, serve, schmooze, and sleep over (adults only).
Family Promise is off to a strong start, thanks to many of our caring Temple members. Many young and old came to the training session January 3 at Crossroads Lutheran Church to hear the director of the organization discuss the program and answer questions. A tour of the church followed, as this is the church that we will assist. It is never too late to join this amazing group of volunteers.
If you are interested or can volunteer, contact Sharon Winer by clicking here or call the office at 836-6565. We welcome everyone, so please join us.
The mission of Family Promise of Western New York is to unite religious and other organizations in responding to the needs of homeless families in our community. To learn more about this amazing organization, click here. |
