What: FAMILY PROMISE HOST WEEK. SVM is one of 18 host congregations that provide emergency shelter, hospitality and meals for one week periods of time on a rotational basis. Volunteers help with set-up, clean-up, meals and laundering of linens at the end of the week, fellowship and overnight supervision.
Who it benefits: Individuals and families who, as a result of any number of commonplace problems (loss of job, sickness disability, etc.) find themselves without a home.
When it occurs: Three to four times a year.
Time commitment: Varies quite a bit. Can be as little as one hour to as much as a person is willing to give in the course of a week. Coordinator will be able to explain the different roles and associated time commitments.
Coordinator: Nancy Romain or Laura Balogh
