Welcome to Family Promise of Lewis Clark Valley
Family Promise of Lewis Clark Valley is a non-profit organization that partners together with local agencies and our faith community to provide positive solutions to families in crisis. Since August 2008, the members of our network have offered shelter and meals to families in crisis. For our guest families, Family Promise of Lewis Clark Valley is a way station of support and companionship on their journey toward self-sufficiency and independance. For our volunteers it is an opportunity to serve and to achieve a better understanding of poverty and homelessness.
UPCOMING EVENTS
7pm at CrossPoint Alliance Church View Map
There is a Jazz group coming from Nampa and possibly some local groups will join us. It will be a fairly simple evening of Jazz and dessert social designed to further expose Family Promise to the community, have some fun, and raise a little money in the process. We will be asking churches to donate homemade chocolate or non-chocolate desserts. Tickets will be available at participating churches and at the following locations: American West Bank on 21st Street, Rosauers on Thain, and Owl
Drug on Southway. $15 per person (includes dessert).
We are also planning a Volunteer Training Saturday, Feb. 11, 11:00 am at CrossPoint Alliance Church View Map. It will take approximately 90 minutes and is open to everyone who is interested in Family Promise.
