Family Promise is a cooperative of over 30 area churches and 1,000+ volunteers who house families experiencing homelessness and working with them to obtain employment and permanent housing. The program allows parents and children to stay together in ways that are not possible in traditional shelters, with up to 4 families staying at a time in the home. RCPC partners with Christ Lutheran Church to host these families once a quarter. Volunteers sign-up to provide dinner or to stay overnight as a host. The families are housed at The Alexa House across the street from Second Presbyterian Church.  Hospitality, a large support system of volunteers, and new life skills enable over 88% of our families to move to and maintain permanent housing.
