🎶 A special thank you to two incredibly talented young musicians who brought such heart to our Home, Hope & Promise event — Jaden Sanzo on cello and Michael Mesa on violin.
The college students of this community continue to inspire us. Whether it's volunteering, performing, or showing up in ways big and small, they give back with such grace and generosity. We are so grateful.
Thank you, Jaden and Michael. You made the evening unforgettable. 💙

Last week, our team had the privilege of taking some of our Family Promise families on a very special day out — a trip to Big Kahuna's Water Park in Destin! 🌊☀️
For families navigating some of life's hardest moments, a day like this means everything. No worries, no stress — just parents and children laughing together, splashing together, and celebrating the start of summer the way every family deserves to.
A Bag For HOPE: thank you for sponsoring these memories for the children!
Watching our families simply enjoy the day was a reminder of why we do this work.
Your support goes so much further than you know — it reaches into the hearts of families who needed this moment more than words can say. Thank you. 🙏

They're back!. ☀️🎨
Maclay students were back at yesterday with paintbrushes in hand — after coming out last week to clean and prep the buildings first. School just got out and these young volunteers are already showing us what service looks like from beginning to end. 🏠💛 Thank you

"There is something different about working at Family Promise of the Big Bend: we operate 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. 100 Women Who Care, you are appreciated for supporing our families in need!" - Nick Maddox, CEO

Family Promise of the Big Bend received a $28,000 donation Saturday from the Tallahassee chapter of 100 Women Who Care after members selected the organization as this month’s nonprofit recipient.
