Family Promise (formerly IHN - Interfaith Hospitality Network)
"Helping Homeless Families Help Themselves."
Family Promise at Zion
Family Promise is a collaborative effort of churches to provide meals and shelter; a staffed Day Center that gives families an address and phone number while looking for housing and employment, and a close working relationship with local agencies to find housing and, if needed, jobs or job training for better paying jobs.
Zion is one of the numerous Loveland area churches that host families on a regular basis. Currently we host for one week approximately once a quarter. Our Sunday School rooms turn into bedrooms, volunteers cook an evening meal, and hosts provide companionship during the sometimes lonely evenings. Volunteers gain a new awareness of homelessness and become catalysts for change.
If you would like to volunteer, contact Zion's coordinators, Kathy Reents: 669-6898 or Meg Schreiber: 667-4765, or call the church office, (970) 667-1836.
