Description

NAWIC Grand Rapids would like to invite you to join us for our Community Giving Event in support of Family Promise of Grand Rapids. Family Promise of Grand Rapids provides emergency shelter and basic needs to families with children who are facing a housing crisis. We make sure families have somewhere safe to sleep each night through one of our 3 shelter programs. We then work with families to identify why they lost their home and help them overcome those obstacles. Whether it was a job loss, medical crisis, family break up etc. Once families have found a stable and sustainable housing solution, we walk alongside them in our Welcome Home program to help ensure they never become homeless again! Details for your volunteer date: Help rehab a manufactured house to make it a beautiful and affordable home for a family. Tasks may include painting, small demo, yardwork, trash removal, hanging blinds, cleaning, etc. EVERYONE is welcome. Address: TBDParking: Try to park out front of the home. If there's not parking right outside the home Family Promise’s facilitator can help point you in the right direction.
