Family Promise is a national organization whose goal is to alleviate homelessness by fostering the development of Networks that provide shelter, meals, and assistance for homeless families.

Part of the New Castle County Network, Hockessin United Methodist Church will provide overnight housing and an evening meal to homeless families for four weeks during the year.  This is one ministry where persons have an opportunity to minister to families who are experiencing difficult times.

There was a wonderful turnout and a beautiful day for the Grand Opening of the Family Promise Center on Tuesday, March 9, 2010!  That date will also be remembered as the day Family Promise of Northern New Castle County admitted its first family into the network! Public officials, incredible volunteers, Board members, supporters and the media all came out in force to help officially launch the 153rd affiliate of the national Family Promise organization.
