Family Promise of Greater Roanoke

Family Promise of Greater Roanoke is a local nonprofit dedicated to helping families with children experiencing homelessness achieve sustainable independence.

Operating 24/7, 365 days a year, the organization partners with over 25 faith communities and more than 1,000 volunteers to provide shelter, meals, and case management services. Each year, they support up to four families at a time, offering a safe and nurturing environment where families can work toward permanent housing and self-sufficiency. Through personalized case management, families establish goals related to employment, housing, education, and childcare. This holistic approach has led to over 88% of participating families securing permanent housing, with 90% maintaining it for at least a year.

Your support can make a significant difference. Donations help provide essential services and resources to families in need.

By supporting Family Promise, you're not just providing shelter—you're offering hope and a pathway to a brighter future for families in our community.

Give an alternative gift this Christmas by donating to one of RCPC’s mission partners in honor of a loved one. Alternative Giving encompasses different ways of giving during Advent that connects RCPC with our neighbors in Roanoke and allows us to thoughtfully give gifts in honor of our loved ones directly to our many mission partners.
