Open to Explore

This is the second of a six-part series called, Meet Your Community.  Today we meet Madison Sanders, Executive Director of Family Promise. We hear about her service and the multiple programs of Family Promise which address both the needs and prevention of homelessness for families. 
 
The aim of this series is to deepen our awareness of needs in our community, and meet some of the people and organizations working daily to meet those needs. In addition to learning about our community, we can envision ways to use our gifts and resources, personally and collectively, to help in meeting those needs.
