Four families, all unique, looking for shelter as they navigate the hardships of life and the rigors of the Family Promise program. Tonight, as I walk down the hall with a single…
DetailsIt is a quintessentially Lawrence moment and my Called to Community partner and I are criss-cross applesauce on the pavement, shoulder to shoulder and knee to knee with kids and grandkids holding plastic bags at the ready for candy.
There are a number of preschool age children currently enrolled with their parents in the FPL programs. Each morning when walking into the Day Center, no matter how many bags and boxes are in my hands, I am greeted with a welcome game.
