Abundance of the Heart, 2013

Hello Friends of Family Promise,

You are personally invited to the “Abundance of the Heart, 2013" a benefit for homeless families, October 25^th, 2013, Friday, 8a-9a, at the Little America Hotel (details below and attached). The event is free to attend and all are welcome. To rsvp, please contact Tony Milner at 801-961-8622, tony@fpsl.org, www.fpsl.org.

This event is a time for us to celebrate the positive and life-altering successes of Family Promise, but more importantly, it is a time to spread awareness and highlight the crisis of family homelessness right here in Salt Lake.

This year, we are honored to have as our Keynote Speaker, Stacey Bess, local author of "Nobody Don't Love Nobody, Lessons on Love from a School with No Name," a teacher's account of educating homeless students; adapted into the 2011 Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, "Beyond the Blackboard.”

(A special thank you to our Event Sponsors: The American Express Center for Community Development, Wells Fargo, and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, Salt Lake Chapter.)

Your attendance and support will truly make a positive difference in the life of a homeless child. We hope to see you there.

  

Also, at the event we will be celebrating “Family Promise Week!” Family Promise - Salt Lake, an Affiliate of Family Promise National, is proud to be part of a nationwide effort to help homeless families regain their stability in housing - and in life. 2013 marks Family Promise National's 25th Anniversary of serving homeless families across the country, and the week of October 20th - 27th, 2013, has been designated "Family Promise Week." Since 1988, Family Promise National has brought together over 6,000 congregations and 160,000 volunteers to assist more than 500,000 homeless men, women and children with shelter, case management, housing and other supportive services.
