Family Promise
CBI is now a “supporting partner” to Temple Beth-El for Family Promise, a local non-profit organization providing intensive case management to homeless families. Family Promise has the highest success rate of any family shelter program in the area with 93% of participants currently housed for one- to two-week periods. Prepare and serve dinners and/or stay overnight with these families in their group housing. Volunteers must attend a training session.
CBI’s Dorothy Bowser serves on the Board of Family Promise and can also provide information at 917-584-5094.
Participating congregations provide congregational housing for one- to two-week periods while volunteers, including those from “supporting partners,” provide dinner meals and/or sleep overnight to safeguard the guests, approximately 12 people (4 families) at any one time. Family Promise of Pinellas County works together with churches and synagogues to provide temporary housing, food, job finding and budget training assistance to needy families. Volunteer: Prepare and serve dinners and/or stay overnight with these families in their group housing. In addition to housing and food, Family Promise provides job finding assistance and budget training.
