The Mission of Family Promise of Gwinnett County, Inc. is to mobilize communities of congregations that partner with social service agencies to end homelessness - one family at a time.
Family Promise focuses on four program areas:
- Training volunteers as mentors to homeless families.
- Organizing congregations to provide shelter, meals, and comprehensive support services to homeless families.
- Promoting and supporting the growth of new communities of congregations.
- Searching for adequate housing and support services for low-income families.
