FPSPBC NEWS | MAY 2023

It’s been a busy year at Family Promise of South Palm Beach County with so many wonderful events and positive collaborations with many outstanding organizations throughout the county.

 

The excitement will continue with our upcoming Leadership Breakfast, where we will take the opportunity to share how we overcame the challenges of the last three years and discovered new ways to serve our community through changing times.

 

During the last two years alone, Family Promise of South Palm Beach County assisted more than 150 families. This incredible accomplishment would not have been possible without the help and support of our congregations, community leaders, donors and professional staff. Please take this opportunity to read about our successes and view pictures from our latest events. 

 

I look forward to seeing all of our amazing supporters throughout the year as we post information about new endeavors and ways our community can engage with the families we serve.   

 

Thank you for your support in making each child’s dream come true.
