Try It You'll Like It
an opportunity to serve families without a home in your community
Family Promise of Warren County (FPWC) opened its doors in October 1998 to serve families in Warren County experiencing homelessness. Through our Shelter Program FPWC has provided a program of accountability and responsibility for over 25 years so families with children experiencing homelessness can become housed and self-sufficient. We accomplish this goal through dedicated staff and the assistance of many volunteers from congregations, businesses, organizations, clubs, and other groups who provide meals, fellowship, and overnight support to the families in our Shelter Program. These volunteers from congregations, organizations, and businesses also provide mentorship, care and concern to the families we are blessed to serve.
