Nicole is the newest member of the Family Promise staff. Her official title is Social Work Manager. We are very grateful to have her be a part of this organization. Nicole brings not only knowledge, but excitment and energy to assist our families. She is already off and running with new programs on group therapy and parenting. We can’t wait to see what this upcoming year brings with her new leadership and skills. Thanks to the Steele Foundation and other generous donors we were able to bring her in )

The Working Poor Tax Credit is….FREE! For those of you who have never heard of it, it is similar to the school tax credit AND you can do both. If you itemize deductions you get your donation back dollar for dollar and you help families in the process. $400 for couples filing jointly and $200 for those filing individually. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Make your donation by donating online or sending in a check.

Step 2: You will receive a receipt immediately and a form 321 in January from Family Promise.

 Step 3: Sign form 321 and include it with your other 2011 tax information for your tax preparer.

Step 4: We thank you for Helping end the cycle of homelessness for those less fortunate!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM FAMILY PROMISE!

We all hope you have a Charlie Brown kind of Thanksgiving. Be thankful for the friends and family around you, the roof over your head, and the food being prepared. There are many families out there that won’t have that this Thanksgiving,  keep them in mind.

Our volunteers are helping those families who do come into our program. They will get a beautiful Thanksgiving this year…and most of all they won’t go hungry. Thank you our wonderful volunteers and churches, we love you all!

This video is amazing. It includes some individuals from Phoenix who were found by a street by street homeless count. 50 individuals were placed into permanent housing in Az. This year, Project H3 Vets is counting Homeless Veterans. Our staff has been out on the streets of Phoenix meeting and surveying homeless individuals. We have one more day left!

Thanks to Pat Dodds, our wonderful board member, we bring you this recap video. This was from October 21st at Barney Park in Gilbert. Stay tuned for a “Save the Date” for next year’s Cardboard City!

The Gilbert Republic published an article about our upcoming Cardboard City 2011. Our volunteers have worked so hard…thank you to everyone involved. Check out the article here
