Our speaker was Patty DiGiaccobe from Family Promise, a religious based organization whose goal is to find housing for homeless families in local churches on a rotating basis. Churches signing on would do this once in three months for one week, providing a place to sleep in the church on beds provided by the organization, and eating supper and breakfast with food provided by the church. The maximum number would be four families or 14 persons, however it adds up, as they have a 15 passenger van that would bring them to a day care location and back each night. Family Promise has 124 chapters in 39 states. Six churches in Trumbull County have signed on so far, but they need 12 or 13 so nobody is used too often. Their goal is to help these families have a roof while looking for a job and real housing.
