Since our inception, our programs have been a beacon of hope for many families. In addition to providing homes for families, we provide Family Education Programs, Financial Stability Education Programs and connect our families with social, educational and career-building opportunities. We provide financial assistance to prevent evictions and divert families and individuals from housing insecurity through our Prevention/Diversion Program. The Family Promise mission works. As an affiliate of Family Promise National, our goal is to continue to expand our programs and services by providing additional locations throughout the State of New Hampshire.
Our signature fundraising event is the annual Homeward Bound Gala held on the first Thursday in December. It’s an elegant evening of artisan chef tastings, entertainment, live and silent auctions, and powerful stories from the families we serve. The second annual event is the Major Donor Evening, held in the spring. This tribute provides the opportunity to honor and acknowledge our donors and their annual generosity, and cultivate new relationships and partnerships.
Family Promise of Southern New Hampshire always accepts monetary donations directly through our website, through the mail, and gift of securities option. Additional opportunities are family and private foundations, corporate or business partnerships, event sponsorships and participation, in-kind donations through our Amazon wish list and donation drives.
Our volunteers are the foundation of our program. Volunteers can contribute by days of service, mentoring and tutoring opportunities, cooking meals, providing babysitting help, or building maintenance services, assisting with events, and providing after-hours and weekend on-site staffing.
