In February, St Vincent Martyr was honored to kick off the first week of the new Motel Shelter Program at Family Promise. The first families sheltered were deeply touched by the chance to rebuild their lives in such a caring, supportive program. Family Promise was thrilled with our generous contributions to provide the families with essentials. Now we have the exciting opportunity to help with the next phase: moving those families to permanent housing as well as helping other families on the brink of eviction move to more affordable housing. Moving expenses cost about $3000 per family, covering movers, security deposit and other fees, and small essential items. To find out how you can help please go to www.svmnj.org/housing or contact Nancy Romain at 973-865-8346 or email nerdmr@optonline.net
We are very excited that St Vincent Martyr is part of the new motel sheltering program at Family Promise. Each motel room will provide emergency shelter to a family, including a full-sized kitchen for meal preparation and desks for students.
