During the holidays, many community members want to donate gifts for our families, whether still in shelter or still struggling to make ends meet in the community. We operate our Adopt-a-Family program to assist families during this special time of year. Please reach out to us at info@familypromisehc.org to donate gifts for the holidays. All donations should arrive by December 1st to allow time to distribute to families.
Again, please contact us first before making in-kind donations anytime between 9 am and 4 pm at 908-782-2490.
Thank you for your generosity and unyielding support!
