Family Promise of Bristol recently received a $500.00 donation from The Woodforest Charitable Foundation.

Woodforest Charitable Foundation

Family Promise of Bristol was founded in 2011 following a local initiative led by United Way to support homeless families with children in the Bristol, VA–TN area. Its mission is to help families and low-income individuals experiencing homelessness achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response, offering critical services across areas including prevention, outreach, shelter, and rapid re-housing. Operating as part of the national Family Promise network, the organization mobilizes local congregations and volunteers to run rotational overnight shelter programs, provide meals, and operate a day center where families can access case management, education, and supportive services. The rapid re-housing and prevention programs introduced in recent years have allowed many families to move into stable housing quickly and sustainably.
