“Family Promise of Berks County is a nonprofit that reinforces family values to its’ very core. As parents go through the stress of providing the material necessities of daily living, children’s emotional needs can get close to last on the list. Through the help of a large interfaith network of hundreds of volunteers who provide meals and shelter, parents are given an opportunity to refocus their priorities and regain a footing on their life. Along with the rental assistance and teen guidance programming, Family Promise of Berks is an organization close to our hearts.”
