Family Promise

Journey Church is a Family Promise partner in the Gallatin Valley. The Family Promise mission is to help low-income families achieve lasting independence and to redress the underlying causes of poverty and homelessness. Family Promise was founded on the belief that Americans are compassionate people who want to make a difference. Their promise has been to link those in need with those who want to help. Family Promise works to accomplish this mission through four program areas:

• Interfaith Hospitality Networks (IHNs) provide shelter, meals, and comprehensive support services to homeless families.
• Family Mentoring helps prevent homelessness by training volunteers to be advisors and advocates to low-income families.
• Just Neighbors, an interactive educational program, raises awareness of the root causes of poverty and homelessness as the first step in establishing community-based responses.
• Community Initiatives foster local IHN outgrowth programs, such as transitional housing, job training, childcare, and literacy.
