Family Promise
Family Promise is an organization of thirteen churches in Monroe and West Monroe that rotate feeding and providing housing for temporarily homeless families. It has proven to be a very effective and positive way for families who are down on their luck to get "back on their feet" again. Individuals who fall under the guidelines of the organization are provided shelter and food for one week intervals by the participating church for that week. Only 15 guests are allowed to participate at one time and currently, the churches are on a 2 1/2 month rotation for providing assistance. We ask for volunteers from our parish to provide meals. If you are interested in volunteering for this wonderful ministry or would like more information, please contact the Church office (318) 325-7549.
