People of faith want to respond to the needs of their neighbors in crisis, but this can be an overwhelming task for one congregation.
What do we do? How do we become part of the solution?
Family Promise of Ouachita responds to the growing need of homeless families to provide shelter, meals and comprehensive support services to families without homes. The program unites the congregations from area churches to assist families in need of assistance.
Ways You Can Help:
* Spreading the word about our program
* Volunteers for the Daycenter
* Donations are always welcome! (Clothes, Furniture, etc. in reasonable condition)
