How WPC Helps Family Promise

We're back in action again after a very, very long Covid hiatus. Our local congregational partners are now hosting on site again and asking congregational volunteers to once again provide meals and spend overnights. So if there's ever a time to show your love for local families in need, this is it.​

We Keep Families Together

Traditional shelters often require men and older male children to separate from mothers and small children.  We provide a safe environment where we can care for the whole family as a unit.  

We Leverage Community Resources

We provide transitional shelter using the existing facilities of local congregations and organizations, making our model very cost-effective. We bring people in need together with people who want to help. We provide the framework that turns compassion into action. 

We Provide a Daytime Location

We Provide a Daytime Location
​Unlike most shelter programs, we also offer our families a daytime location which provides them with a mailing address, job search resources, and a place to have their children picked up for school.

We Keep Families Housed

Last year we were involved in 700 calls with the goal of keeping families housed.  These calls involved social service agencies, landlords and the families.

We Address the Root Causes of Family Homelessness

We provide supportive services tailored to each family to address the root causes of their homelessness. Through workshops, training, and counseling, each family develops a stabilization plan to prepare them for independence.
