Homeless children and their families need your help now.

Your gift today offers families facing homelessness the promise of home.

 

Family Promise is the leading national nonprofit addressing family homelessness, providing homelessness prevention, emergency shelter, workforce development, education, financial capability, health and wellness, and so much more. 

 

When families lose their homes, they shouldn’t lose each other. By supporting Family Promise of Southern Ocean County, you will help keep families together during the hardest time of their lives — then ensure they quickly find housing and the resources for lasting independence. Family Promise of Southern Ocean County is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit, and donations are tax-deductible.

​

​

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we face many challenges in our community. Information is constantly changing and families are more vulnerable now more than ever. The need in our community has more than tripled. We remain committed to supporting families through our prevention, shelter, and stabilization services during this challenging time.

​

Our services are still critically needed. We are continuing to take steps to avert potential new cases of homelessness through our prevention program via rental/mortgage assistance program.  Families are being hit hard by this health crisis through the loss of wages, jobs, transportation, childcare, and more. They will need our support now and into the future.

​

While our traditional rotational shelter model was suspended in March, we have creatively developed new approaches to shelter and have increased our capacity to support families in our community who are experiencing homelessness. 

​

Please consider donating to Family Promise of Southern Ocean County during this difficult time so we can provide a critical safety net for vulnerable families in our community. Your support restores hope and provides much-needed stability in the lives of families in crisis. As we continue working to end family homelessness in our community, your donation is as important as ever – because every child deserves a home!

Donations of Vehicles, Real estate or other goods

Real estate: Whether you would like to transfer your property to us outright, designate your real estate through your estate, give us a portion of your holding, or continue to live in your property, we are happy to work with you to set up a transaction that meets your needs. Artwork, collections, and other personal property: Please contact us to make sure we can accept the gift you have in mind, and to discuss your wishes regarding the property.
