Wheels UP and Rollin' Out


The P family applied for Wheels UP at the end of last month and recently purchased their new family vehicle. Since then, the family has been able to work full-time hours PLUS. So, they have been pulling in double the income!


The stress that was clouding this family has been replaced with smiles. We found out today that the family was accepted for an apartment! They were even able to save up and put down 1st month and security already! We are so proud and excited for this family on their new adventure. 


They said, “My family now has a way to get around without the help of others or the bus. I appreciate all the help and support you all have shown my family. I can’t wait to be in a place to give back to you (FPHCR).”


This. This right here. This is why we do what we do.

Our staff was having a little fun last week and put together this video of As the Day Center Turns. Tune in to hear what our guests have been up to and how you can get involved. 

It Rained All at One Time by Susan Ryder

“It rained all at one time,” was what a caller told me on the phone, as she described how her family found themselves in very hard times. That quote really stuck with me. It now hangs on my bulletin board to remind me of how to answer when people ask how folks find themselves without a home.


These calls are not unusual. In a more recent call, a mom described a "rained all at once" scenario.

She was working with a delivery company to try to make $70-$100/day


To afford the hotel where they were staying

Because they lost their housing

Because her husband lost his job after he suffered a heart attack

And she stopped working to care for him and the children

Plus, she had just hit a deer

And they were almost out of money


...She was drowning. 


At Family Promise HCR, we provide families an umbrella for the rain, and sometimes a boat. We do this through a variety of programs and with the help of many partners. Our shelter and prevention programs help families to move from homelessness to home. We also have 4 UP programs:
