[Lekooks] Family Promise Update for Everyone, Trained and Untrained Volunteers

[William Lizdas]

Thanks, Gina,

for this update, and especially for your continued dedication during this difficult time. Being in Madison, I can’t respond quickly for being the “handy person” in the apt., but am happy to join a cleaning crew between families. Because of my distance and the virus, I’m no longer able to be an “official" Volunteer Coordinator, but you know I’ll help wherever and whenever I can. I’ll keep our next host week (Mar 21-27) open for whatever I can do. 

Miss you, and all of my Family Promise compatriots,

All love,
Bill

The focus shifted to preventing homelessness.  While prevention continues to be a priority, we are back to serving in a limited way by housing a family in an apartment that Family Promise rents.  We have successfully housed one family and hope to build our way up to hosting up to four families in four apartments over time.  The plan is to return to the old rotating model when it is safe to do so.

We will not be in direct contact with our family (ies).  We may be asked for food, prepared meals, gift cards, hygiene products, etc.... We will not know what is needed until the week before we host.  I will be in touch with you as we get closer to that date.
