In 2013, Family Promise of the Midlands was registered with the South Carolina Secretary of State as a 501(c)3 organization. Since then, 16 congregations agreed to host homeless families, Heyward Street United Methodist Church provided space for a Day Center, and they raised more than $100,000 to complete renovations on the Day Center and to provide operating funds for the first year.
Family Promise is a national, non-profit initiative founded in 1986. With affiliates in more than 180 U.S. cities, Family Promise brings the faith community together to help families regain their housing, their independence, and their dignity. It offers opportunities for volunteers of all faiths to reduce homelessness and transform lives. Check out the national Family Promise at familypromise.org.
