Family Promise of Lancaster County, Inc. is an affiliate of Family Promise, Inc., formerly known as National Interfaith Hospitality Network, Inc.  Family Promise, founded in Summit, New Jersey in 1986, was created in response to the growing need to provide shelter, meals, and comprehensive support services to families without homes. The Interfaith Hospitality Network program of Family Promise operates in 41 states, with 143 networks and over 4,500 congregations participating.  More than 120,000 volunteers are contributing their gifts of time and talent. Each year the Interfaith Hospitality Networks across the country graduate successfully over 20,000 families with 78% never returning to homelessness again.  Family Promise was awarded the Point of Light Award from the White House.

The mission of Family Promise of Lancaster County, Inc. is to mobilize our community to help low income families achieve and sustain independence.  We do this by providing compassionate, loving support in the form of meals, shelter, and comprehensive case management to the homeless families of Lancaster County, fostering and promoting growth as a successful family unit.

The vision of Family Promise of Lancaster County, Inc. is that through faith, we will make homelessness a temporary phase in the lives of all who are touched by this devastation. All families will experience God’s never-ending love, mercy and compassion.

Family Promise of Lancaster County, Inc. is about to become a reality. Seven organizations in our community have committed to provide shelter, meals, and compassionate assistance for homeless families and several other congregations are considering participation. Our goal is to have thirteen host congregations by the time we open.
