Thank You to those of you who supported Family Promise of Beaufort County at our recent Dreaming of Home Gala by not only attending, but bidding on the Silent and Live Auction items, raising your paddle during the ASK, or donating if you were unable to attend.

The ASK portion of our event was more important than ever and with your support we have secured funding for almost 1/2 of the cost  of a new, safer and more reliable 15-passenger bus to transport our precious cargo. Reliable and safe transportation is vital to the success of our Shelter Program. It is used to bring our families to and from our congregations, our childcare providers and the Boys and Girls Club each day. Additionally, we transport families to medical appointments, employment interviews, housing searches, and their places of employment. Repairs on our current 9-year old van have been astronomical over the past two years, as was the rental while our van was in the shop for repairs. These were funds that could have been put to better use by directly assisting our families.

 

On behalf of our Board of Directors, staff and the families we serve, thank you for your support.  Family Promise is a donor supported, volunteer driven organization and our success is due to friends like you.  Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook!
