Family Promise
Family Promise of Waukesha County assists homeless families by offering housing and meals as well as training to find employment and handling finances and family issues — all in an effort to support these families to become self-sustaining and live in their own home. St. Jerome Parish is a “supporting” parish for this program on a rotating basis with other area churches. Our parish provides meals as well as volunteers who serve dinner, spend time with families in the evening, and assist with set-up and take-down for our scheduled “host weeks”.
Due to Covid, the Family Promise program has temporarily moved to a different model of housing families in apartments instead of the rotational model of in-person meals and housing at area churches.
