Do you know on an average day in Monmouth County, there are 200 children who
are homeless?
That’s why for the last 13 years, Hope for Children has partnered with Family
Promise of Monmouth County and donated over $250,000 to provide these families
with shelter, food and a chance to build a better future.
This past Friday, we were excited to join Family Promise as they unveiled their
new Day Center in Ocean Port, NJ. This 2,800-square-foot building at the old
Fort Monmouth property provides homeless children and their families with food,
clothing, shelter, transportation, life skills training and comprehensive case
management. Everything needed for these families to get back on their feet and
promote a life with economic stability.
During the ceremony, we were honored that Family Promise recognized our
partnership by naming their new Resource Room after Hope for Children
Foundation. We were advised by Mike Meriton (Vice President, Family Promise
Monmouth County) that it was our pledge for the new building that allowed
Family Promise to forge ahead with this project. This has been a great synergy for
both organizations and we are excited to continue working together to help the
children in our community… one family at a time.
