Due to the generosity of many of our parishioners, we have helped Family Promise defray the cost of many household needs. We have provided overnight volunteers and dinners during our host week. With your help. we have been able to defray costs for needed supplies and repairs to the facility. We have also provided furniture for families transitioning from the shelter into their own apartments. All are very appreciative and thankful to Sacred Heart parishioners for our prayers, volunteers, and donors.
