Who We Are

Family homelessness is becoming more and more prevalent in our community. Families with children are the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population. Family Promise is doing everything in our power to end family homelessness,,. by building communities and strengthening lives. Most of the families we help are just like ours, but they haven't been able to overcome a difficult situation. That's where Family Promise can help!
Family Promise of Lima-Allen County has helped over 300 children and over 160 families build a strong foundation for their family's future by providing emergency services, case management, and transportation. With the help of our Host Congregations and over 100 volunteers, our families have found futures full of hope and possibility.
When we help parents meet their basic needs and give them the opportunity to create a vision for the future, their dreams of providing a better life for their children are realized. This changes our community and improves the lives of future generations.
