About Us
Family Promise of Moore County is a nonprofit agency dedicated
to alleviating homelessness in Moore County, North Carolina.
Assistance is provided through a network of participating host
and support congregations, a Board of Trustees, and the
Executive Director.
Host congregations open the doors of their facilities for one week, four to five times
per year to homeless families. Under the direction of the FPMC
director, they provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as
transportation to and from the Day Center. Congregation
volunteers stay with the families through their time at the
facility to provide support and ensure that their stay proceeds
smoothly.
Support Congregations assist Host
Congregations with volunteers and/or supplies, as they are able.
Alternately, they may provide financial assistance, the donation
for needed supplies, or act to meet a variety of other needs
as they arise.
An independent Board of Trustees oversees
all operations and provides vision, direction, and guidance;
working toward the promotion and expansion of the network.
The Executive Director, working with local social services
agencies, provides case management, maintains the Day Center as
the central place of operations, provides administrative
oversight of the day to day operations and works with the Board
to fulfill Network goals and commitments.
Families who are without a home of their own find in FPMC the
support, encouragement, and assistance that will enable them to
achieve independent living. Read the
