When entering and exiting our church sanctuary on Sunday (Salem Lutheran), we pass under the words: "Serving God by Serving Others". These words spoke strongly to me. Since retiring from farming, I found myself with a lot of extra time and naturally became a driver, then church coordinator, and now board member for Family Promise. My "handle" on the board may be VP but I serve as a Compliance Officer and try to keep informed of and share the many Family Promise requirements. Currently, our church co-coordinator Hollie Benson and I are working on supplying a notebook for each coordinator containing all necessary forms along with the Family Promise coordinator handbook. I am amazed at the dedicated people I have gotten to know in Family Promise. Our staff brings not only talent but a heart-felt commitment of helping people. It has been a learning experience and eye-opening to witness the growth of the many families who enter and leave the Family Promise program. |

My why is that I believe that caring adults and programs can help break the cycle of poverty and homelessness and provide hope! We have such a caring Skagit Valley community who wants to help! If we all work together we can help others get their feet on the ground and get a fresh start. Family Promise offers so many resources, trainings and other skills to help homeless families become self-sufficient and provide for their families. I work for Burlington-Edison School District as the homeless liaison to help kids stay in school and get a diploma! I have been in education for 34 years. My husband of 35 years has also been a rock in education himself, and service in Rotary with me to help combat homelessness. My daughter is an educator also, in Detroit with the same passion to educate the disadvantaged. My son, daughter-in-law, and my new granddaughter are all great supporters of the work I do for children of poverty and homelessness! Our family is 4th generation in Skagit Valley and so proud to serve our community. |
