A Unique Opportunity to Support Families Right Here in Forsyth County
Offer your congregation or group members a mission opportunity in their own community.
Many weeks of the year, local congregations serve as hosts to the families participating in the Family Promise Residential Program — providing a place to stay, meals, and most important of all… loving hospitality.
​
We understand, however, that not every congregation or community group has the physical space to host families overnight. That’s why we’ve created a new opportunity that opens the door for any group to get involved — without needing to provide housing.
​
Introducing: Local Mission. Lasting Change.
​
Family Promise of Forsyth County now has a dedicated host space, which means your group can “adopt a week” and take responsibility for meals, evening hospitality, and overnight care — all in our space, with your support.
It’s a simple, powerful way to serve families in crisis — and it all happens right here in your own community.
How It Works
Hosting a week with Family Promise is simple, meaningful, and completely local. Your group “adopts” a week to support families in our Residential Program by showing up with compassion, hospitality, and practical help.
​
1. We Provide the Space
Families stay at our designated Family Promise host site.
Your group doesn’t need to provide housing — we’ve got that covered!
​
2. You Bring the Support
Your group signs up to cover one week of hosting by:
-
Preparing and sharing dinner each evening (Sunday–Saturday)
(Training is required and provided.) -
Providing two trained overnight hosts each night (Sunday–Saturday)
-
Collecting basic supplies like paper goods, hygiene items, and snacks
-
Helping with setup on the first day and breakdown on the final Sunday
-
Washing and returning bedding​
​​
3. Serve as a Team
This is a perfect opportunity for:
-
Congregations of all sizes
-
Small groups, youth groups, and families
-
Businesses or service clubs
Children and teens are welcome to serve alongside adults, making this a meaningful way to model empathy and community care.
​
4. Make a Real Difference
In just one week, your group can:
-
Give families a sense of stability and dignity
-
Be part of their journey from homelessness to housing
-
Build stronger bonds within your own team
