Do you want to support vulnerable families during this health crisis? You can!
Imagine you’re a single mom of four, restarting her life in a
new place, with no family and friends nearby. Or one of the many youths
experiencing homelessness in Berks. You’re living in a motel room when
Coronavirus shuts everything down. Without access to reliable internet, you are
afraid of losing your job. Your children, who share the room’s two double beds
while you sleep on the floor, have no place play or complete their schoolwork.
You are just one of the hundreds of families and youth who are experiencing
homelessness or are at imminent risk. Even when the immediate threat is over,
will there be any affordable housing for you and your children?
Family Promise of Berks County is part of a national organization addressing
the crisis of family & youth homelessness in America. More than 200
communities in the United States including Berks County, under the banner of
Family Promise, are coming together to ensure families & youth, like the
one described above, have a safe place to stay & reach out to during this
pandemic and after it passes. Make a gift today to help us ensure that families
& youth have a safe support system during the COVID-19 crisis and long
after it ends.
At Family Promise of Berks County, we believe in keeping families together and youth off the streets while providing hope, a new beginning and opportunities for change. Our mission to help families and youth experiencing homelessness achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response is made possible through the help of caring individuals like you. We mobilize a wide network of volunteers to help us deliver shelter, permanent housing and supportive services for a fraction of the cost of traditional models.
Low-income families and youth are some of the hardest-hit by the COVID-19 health crisis through the loss of wages, childcare, food, transportation, and more. Many are currently experiencing homelessness and others are at imminent risk.
This campaign will help provide life-saving interventions that keep families together and healthy.
Mobilize your friends and family to donate today!
You can make a difference.
