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.
