- Thank you to our dedicated Volunteers –
Family Promise of Bergen County
Shelter at Our Lady of Mercy Church
 
Thank you for being part of the Family Shelter and reaching out a helping hand.  Our friendships and sense of community at OLM have grown stronger during these summer weeks together.
 
You have helped to make OLM a welcoming and comfortable place for our guests, which included 4 families and children.  It is great to work together with you and our support churches to see the good work make a difference in people’s lives - our own as well.
 
Our lives and our guests’ are connected for only 14 nights but the experiences affect us in good ways every day.  We hope that we can call on you all again next year to help with this ministry, and we encourage you to reach out to a friend that may also be interested in joining us.
 
Thank you, peace, Ron and Joni von Autenried



Families’ Perspective Video

Family Promise is the only organization in Bergen County that provides shelter AND support to working families who become homeless.  We help homeless working families become self-sufficient.  Our network of sheltering congregations and transitional apartments provide stability while the families receive intensive individual case management to help them realize their goal of true independence.
