Grants support shelter program
Family Promise of Lawrence was awarded $7,000 in grants from the Assists Foundation and the Ethel and Raymond F. Rice Foundation.
The grants will enable Family Promise to continue providing year-round transportation, food, shelter and other services to homeless families in Lawrence.
Family Promise’s mission is to help homeless families find and maintain a long-term residence.
Through the cooperation of 33 area congregations, Family Promise has graduated seven families from the program into permanent housing.
