Family Promise is an organization
that serves families temporarily displaced from their homes by providing
housing through churches in the community. Our next set of guests will
be staying with us August 22 - 29. We will need lots of
hands to turn our church into a comfortable home for our guests. Below
is a description of the types of volunteers we need.
Sunday
Room Setup - After the
church service on Sunday, August 22, we will need assistance setting up
guests' rooms and other areas in the church prior to their arrival.
Evening Hosts
(5:45pm - 8:30pm) - Coordinating with members of
Congregation Beth Yam, volunteers prepare dinner for the
guests and bring the food to the church to be
served between 6:30 pm and 7:00 pm each night. There should
be enough food to feed approximately two families with very young,
children plus the hosts. Hosts serve dinner, eat with the guests, assist
in clean up and socialize with the guests and children.
Overnight
Hosts (8:30pm - 7:00am)
- Overnight hosts (ideally, one man and one woman) spend the night
sleeping at the church. They help with a light breakfast and are
available in case of an emergency during the night.
Daytime
Hosts - These
volunteers would be available during the day on Saturday, August 28 to
spend time with our guests. The actual activities will vary, but could
be going to the beach or a pool, out to lunch, going for a walk to
Jarvis Park, or just hanging out at the church.
Sunday
Clean-up Crew - Prior
to church on Sunday, August 29, we will need some extra hands to help
guests pack up their belongings and restore the Sunday school classroom.
