Pew Envelopes
September Pew Envelopes Benefit Family Promise of Burlington County
Falling into the cycle of housing instability can devastate families. Being homeless alters the course of children’s lives as it interferes with their education and social community growth.
Family Promise of Burlington County provides families with minor children and pregnant women with help and support not only to provide emergency housing, but to prevent homelessness.
The lack of affordable housing in our area makes their vital work even more challenging. Working within the community, they provide rental assistance, landlord mediation and when necessary, shelter families in local hotels. They stabilize those in need. On average 88% served by this program are able to secure permanent housing and remain independent.
The Family Promise goal is not simply to get families into housing… it is to help keep them in housing. Please help them reach this goal with your “pew envelope” donations to Trinity Community Outreach.
Donations can be dropped off, mailed to the office or made through the QR code. Please designate for “Family Promise”.
Thank you for your support of Trinity’s Community Outreach.
