Family Promise is one of BUMC top ten missions. Family Promise Jacksonville works with local churches providing temporary shelter and meals to homeless families. Check out familypromisejax.org for detailed information. There are many volunteer opportunities, to volunteer email Leighan Whitaker at leighanwhitaker@yahoo.com. We are asking the BEACH family to donate items that will help make these families stay here at BEACH as comfortable as possible. A complete list of supplies can be found below. To donate items email Donny Podany at podman955@yahoo.com or there will be collection canisters available in the lobby of the FLC. Thank you for helping us in "Ending homelessness one family at a time”.
