Family Promise Hosting

Thank you to everyone who helped with Family Promise in December. We served 4 families of 15 people (6 adults, 1 teenager, 5 kids, and 3 infants). Everyone was thankful for the delicious meals and treats that were delivered. NEW FOR 2023…. Look for upcoming changes! Family Promise will be using grant money through Second Harvest and working with Giant and food banks to purchase food for the families to cook on their own. Churches will still be asked to help with monetary donations and perhaps to sponsor food for a week or two. They are currently looking for volunteers to help coordinate this or to pick/up deliver groceries when needed. Volunteers can also schedule to come in and cook with the families. To all the Volunteers who have helped over the past many years, I sincerely say “Thank You!” I would love to hear from as many of you as possible as to how you feel about these changes, and how Ben Salem should proceed with our involvement to continue helping our local families in need. These suggestions will be passed on to the Mission Committee for further discussion.
