Family Promise

What is Family Promise?
Family Promise is an Ozaukee County program that helps homeless and low-income families achieve sustainable independence. We recognize that poverty is a multifaceted problem that requires a multifaceted response from the community. We provide food, shelter, and support services for homeless families through the hands-on work of our many volunteers. We provide advice and advocacy for at-risk families to prevent their becoming homeless. And we educate people about poverty and the means to combat it.

We are one of many independent Affiliates in 44 states (and counting). At the heart of our work is the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN). The IHN marshals existing local resources to provide for homeless families as they work to get back on their feet. These resources include available congregational spaces, donated goods, and – most importantly – volunteers.

Grace is proud to be one of the Interfaith Hospitality Network sites in Ozaukee County.  Our worshiping community, supported by our partner church Pilgrim UCC, provides facilities, volunteer staffing and meals 4 weeks a year as part of our commitment to supporting our neighbors in need.

Upcoming Family Promise Weeks at Grace:
Meals are packaged in Grace's kitchen and delivered to The Chalet in Mequon for current Family Promise participants.
