What: A month-long challenge to raise money for local families in need of shelter, food, and support
When: All of March 2024
Family Promise of Cape May County is launching a Community Match Challenge, inviting local businesses, organizations and community members to donate during the month of March. All donations will go to support their mission to keep working homeless families together during times of crisis by providing safe shelter, meals and support services needed to educate, encourage and empower families in their quest to re-establish their individual pride and independence.
Michael Craig who owns the Washington Inn, Cape May has generously agreed to MATCH any donation during the month of March up to $10,000. Family Promise is hoping this will stimulate and enhance donations during the month of March for anyone who wishes to support their non-profit organization during these challenging times.
Family Promise is also building a network of landlords that would be willing to keep their property affordable for the families they serve. All Family Promise families are required to work, are pre-screened and tested for drug use before being accepted into their program.
Many families fall into homelessness due to job loss, sickness, the recent influx of Airbnb’s, rent increases and long-term landlords wanting to sell their properties. Family Promise is asking landlords to make a difference during Cape May County’s affordable housing crisis. Please join them in helping to house homeless families that need help. To get involved, landlords can “Pledge” on their website. Please go to www.familypromisecmc.org to PLEDGE or DONATE! You can also follow them on Facebook and Instagram! Family Promise of Cape May County is a fully recognized 501(c)3 exempt organization. Donations are fully tax-deductible.
