FPCG Hosting Local Families
On every night of the year, over 1000 children and their families are homeless in Philadelphia.
The Interfaith Hospitality Network, “the shelter that is not like a shelter” provides shelter, food and other assistance to our neighbors in need.
At two to four week intervals, member congregations offer hospitality and provide volunteers for IHN guest families. This hospitality make a huge difference in the lives of families as they achieve and accomplish their goals on the path to stability.
Our current hosting period began Sunday, 3/1 and continues through Sunday, 3/22.

Volunteers are needed to help prepare meals, provide funds for when supplies run short or, act as evening and over night hosts. Many of you have volunteered in the past and found this an opportunity to know our guests and other church members.
Your volunteer service will help families in transition. Look for the sign up table in coffee hour to learn more about this program and how you can help this vital outreach mission of our church.
