Our Mission Statement:

Our mission is to help families experiencing homelessness and economic uncertainty to achieve sustainable independence through prevention programs, advocacy, and community support services.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Family Promise Program. Without volunteers we could not provide services to our guest families. Volunteers perform simple but immeasurably significant services. They supply the meals, the time needed to host at our church and they donate money to purchase the supplies for the host week as well.

They talk to the guests…and listen. They can be a source of HOPE. This is where WE can start to make a difference! 

Consider becoming a volunteer. Here are some of the ways you can help:

– Preparing food

– Hosting guests families at our host sites in the evening or overnight

– Playing with children and helping with homework

– Teaching life skills like parenting, home management, budgeting and nutrition

– Becoming a volunteer coordinator

– Helping with clerical and administrative jobs at the IHN office

– Becoming a mentor to our families

– Joining the Board of Trustees

– Or bringing your unique personal skills to help our families in other ways

The only way this works is through the help of volunteers who are asked to just give a few hours during a Host Week.  This program keeps our Homeless children out of hotels and motels. It keeps the children safe and with their parents.
