Family Promise of Salem County (FPSC) is a non-profit 501c3 organization that helps homeless families in Salem County, NJ. We are an affiliate of the national Family Promise Interfaith Hospitality Network that has been in existence since 1989. Today there are more than 151 Family Promise networks in 39 states across the country. FPSC is not a shelter, but a unique approach to providing temporary o

vernight accommodations and an evening meal to three or four homeless families with children at a time (up to 14 people). Our network is made up of Salem County Host Congregations who pledge overnight use of their facilities and volunteers to work for one week approximately every three months. Each family sleeps on air mattresses (babies in portable cribs) in their own classroom or partitioned area of the Host Congregation. Salem County Support Congregations are paired with Host Congregations and provide additional volunteers and support. Trained volunteers from both Host and Support Congregations can make and serve an evening meal, stay overnight with the guests or drive the network van. Families stay together at a Host Congregation for one week at a time and then rotate to the next church on Sunday evenings, 365 days per year.
