Welcome to Family Promise of Blount County
Family Promise of Blount County is one of over 150 affiliates of the National Family Promise organization, which has been serving homeless families for 20 years. Family Promise's goal is to help homeless families find lasting employment and housing through a network of congregations and local resources within Blount County that provide overnight accommodations and meals to families on a week-to-week basis.
Usually, the families in the program are facing homelessness for the first time in their lives, due to job loss, medical conditions, financial problems, or other tough circumstances. This is where we step in to provide a hand up and guide them back to self-sufficiency and lasting independence.
With the sincere devotion of our staff and volunteers we have been able to assist over 100 individuals since beginning service in Blount County 1 year ago this June. That number shows that the need is great and that the program WORKS!
