VOLUNTEERS OF ALL FAITHS CHANGING LIVES

Family Promise of Albuquerque’s shelter program relies on a partnership of interfaith congregations and other volunteer groups to help local families facing homelessness. Our  provide lodging, meals and hospitality to families in need. For families in the program, each day begins with breakfast at the day center with volunteers, followed by a van ride to drop the children at school and bring the parents back to our Day Center. The parents attend skills classes, develop resumes, set goals, and attend case management sessions during the hours the children attend school. In the evening, The children return from school and the families prepare for the evening.   Volunteers provide dinner and spend some quality time with the families breaking bread together. The evening hours are for homework, relaxing and family fun time, as they would be with any family. Each day ends with the family all together, in one room, under one roof.
