Possible Changes to Family Promise!
Family Promise is hoping to expand its outreach to the community by having more space available to families. A possible solution to this issue is that there is an emergency shelter in Waukesha, which is typically vacant during the warmer months of the year (April 24-October 27). Family Promise wants to utilize this space, and bring volunteers from member churches in, to provide food and spend time with families for one night each month. If you're interested in participating in this program, contact Jane Lurvey.
