"The homeless community is not faceless. A little boy came to our program said he has never felt so welcome in a church before; that it felt like home. And that for me as a volunteer was an amazing experience to know that he is loved by not only his parents, but by his community," noted one volunteer from FPJS.
If you have professional skills such as resume writing or budget management, and are willing to teach individuals to be self-sustaining, please contact us. For more information on volunteer opportunities, please visit: familypromisejerseyshore.org. Every volunteer makes a difference!
