Family Promise Week

Many opportunities await those who wish to volunteer for Family Promise of Greater Lafayette.*  Each semester, St. Tom’s serves the families residing at the Family Promise Center for two designated weeks. St. Tom's upcoming week is September 12 to 17. 

Hosting includes meal preparation and evening company on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The evening volunteers must be willing to engage with the families by helping with homework, playing games, or just visiting with the families.   During the week, a Family Promise staff member will be present to answer phones or “walk-up” inquiries and manage the after-hour duties.  Masks are optional, but please bring one if the families request that volunteers wear a mask.
