Family Promise of Gainesville - Shelter Services
Area churches and synagogues join together to provide temporary shelter to homeless families. They stay for one to two weeks at a time and then move on to another place of worship. While doing this, they meet with social workers and other people who will help them along the path of self sufficiency. Please see the website for more information.
