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
