ABOUT US
OUR MISSION: Family Promise is a faith-based agency working with various community partners, dedicated to helping homeless families achieve and sustain independence by providing help, hope and a safe haven as they seek suitable employment and housing.
Family Promise serves homeless families in the Lima-Allen County area. We connect families with service agencies to help them find jobs to sustain them financially while they look for permanent housing.
The heart of the program is the churches that have focused their mission efforts locally. Participating churches provide temporary overnight accommodations for the families giving them a warm place to sleep, a nutritious meal in the evening and the tender mentoring of volunteers to insure them someone cares about them.
Annually, Family Promise serves 16 plus families which includes adults and children. We provide more than 2,500 shelter nights, more than 8,000 meals with more than 8,400 volunteer hours. The positive housing outcome is 83.5% and about 75% find employment while at Family Promise.
Family Promise is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. It is governed by a set of bylaws to provide direction for the operations. A strategic plan, developed with input from the community, board members and staff provide guidance for service delivery, improvement and expansion.
The Family Promise Board meets 5:30-6:30 p.m. the first Tuesday of the month, at 1240 W. Market Street, Lima, OH.
