Upcoming Events
Family Promise hosts several events each year to engage support, raise funds, and spread the word about our mission to end family homelessness. These events are invaluable opportunities to create relationships with people and companies who are interested in helping us make a difference in the lives of homeless parents and their children.

Family Promise Giving Day
April 11th was Family Promise Giving Day, but there is still time to give!
FP Giving Day is a 24-hour campaign to raise support for families facing homelessness. However, donations only close on April 18th at midnight!
This means you have a little time left to make a difference with FPHC! Help us assist the in-need families of Hudson County by donating before April 18th via the following button!
All donations will fund FPHC's mission to help families experiencing homelessness and low-income families achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response.
Remember, together WE can, so what are you waiting for?

Please help us make this giving day not only successful but also a day to remember. It's time to prove that together WE can give the in-need families of Hudson County a future to look forward to.

An Evening of Promise:
Bridging a Better Future Together
An Evening of Promise: Bridging a Better Future Together is a celebratory fundraiser cocktail party honoring Hudson County Commissioner Bill O’Dea, South Hudson Civic Association Chairman Philip Kenny, and South Hudson Civic Association Board Member Chico Ramchal for their compassionate care of the most vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proceeds will fund Family Promise of Hudson County’s general operating costs. The celebration is taking place Wednesday, August 9th, from 4:30-7:30 p.m. at Grace Van Vorst Church in Jersey City (39 Erie St, Jersey City, NJ 07302). Each tax-deductible ticket is priced at $73, the cost for keeping our operations running for half a day. Our goal is to raise enough funds via tickets, journal advertisements and sponsorships to cover our general operating costs.

May 11th!
Was there ever a time in your life when someone lent you a hand? If so, then close your eyes and remember how you felt afterward. Likely, you felt grateful, happy, relieved, or some other positive emotion. Now, imagine yourself lending a hand to another the same way one was lent to you. Imagine how good that feels... and now make that feeling a reality.
May 11th is #HudsonGives, a day when nonprofits all over Hudson County come together to raise money and awareness for their selfless causes. Please lend us here at Family Promise of Hudson County (FPHC) a hand tomorrow! Join us on our page to help us assist families all over Hudson County and reach our goal of $1,000! We need you to get the word out to all those you know and ask them to help us combat homelessness one hand at a time!
We hope to have your support in the continuing battle against homelessness, so please visit our page on May 11th via the button below to join the battle and create a brighter future!
Remember, together WE can, so what are you waiting for?

Our 5th Anniversary!
On February 22nd, it will be FPHC's 5th Anniversary! We are all so excited to be celebrating our 5th year as a Family Promise Affiliate and would like all of you to join us in our celebration! Instead of throwing a party, we decided to celebrate by starting this year off right for our families.
Help Us Move In (HUMI), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help children escape homelessness, has gifted FPHC with a $15,000 matching grant for our Homelessness Prevention Program! Thus, we would like to dedicate our anniversary celebration to fulfilling our half of the grant!
As such, we will be running a fundraiser on our social media, which you can find all of below! Additionally, if you would like to donate early please click the button below!
We thank you all in advance for your generosity and look forward to celebrating this momentous occasion together! Remember, together WE can!
