WELCOME TO OUR <strong>2023</strong><br />
WALK TO END HOMELESSNESS!<br />
Thank you for participating in this year’s walkathon! My committee<br />
and I are thrilled to be holding the walk in person this year. It has<br />
always been an event we look forward to, bringing so many of our<br />
new and longtime friends together to celebrate the work we are all<br />
doing in our community to assist families facing homelessness.<br />
We’ve worked hard this year to create an atmosphere like a family<br />
reunion, with food, games, activities, prizes, and of course our walk<br />
to raise funds and awareness for our programs. Please make sure<br />
you take time to get your team photos done so we have them to share<br />
on our social media.<br />
I want to thank all of you, but especially our Team Captains who<br />
organized their teams and generated enthusiasm among their<br />
teammates. I also need to give a big shout-out to the <strong>2023</strong> <strong>Walk</strong><br />
Committee for all their dedication and hard work to make this year’s<br />
event possible. We know this is a busy time of year for many of you!<br />
We also deeply appreciate the support of our business community.<br />
Because of your collective compassion and dedication to our mission,<br />
we were able to serve a record number of 83 families including 137<br />
children in <strong>2023</strong>. Please know how much your support means to our<br />
families.<br />
Thank you for joining us on this walk and giving our families the<br />
hope of a brighter future.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Carole Brodrick, Development Director
ABOUT<br />
FAMILY PROMISE METROWEST<br />
Based in Natick, Massachusetts, Family Promise Metrowest serves<br />
low- and moderate-income families with children that are<br />
homeless or at risk of homelessness. We offer a community<br />
approach to addressing the challenges of housing insecurity,<br />
bringing together a diverse community of volunteers, donors,<br />
congregations, and businesses to create real change.<br />
We offer four programs that address a continuum of housing and<br />
stabilization needs. Our Shelter program, which is based in our<br />
Day Center in Natick, offers temporary housing paired with<br />
intensive coaching to families that have lost their home. Our SAIL<br />
program (Sustaining Achievements for Independent Living)<br />
supports families with rental subsidies and continued coaching<br />
for one year as they transition from our shelter program back into<br />
apartments in the community. Our LIFE program (Local Initiative<br />
for Family Empowerment) helps families facing eviction or shelter<br />
entry remain in safe housing by providing subsidies to pay for<br />
rent in arrears, security deposits, or moving expenses, paired with<br />
coaching support. And finally, the Steps to Success program offers<br />
our families educational and training opportunities, subsidies,<br />
and referrals to help them increase their life skills and improve<br />
their employment and income potential.<br />
We are one of over 200 Family Promise affiliates across the<br />
country, and as of April <strong>2023</strong>, we’ve helped almost 500 families<br />
including over 800 children create and maintain safe, stable, and<br />
sustainable housing. To learn more about us, see the last page in<br />
this program.
