ACTS OF COMPASSION HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE LIVES OF THOSE IN NEEDFAMILIES
Volunteers have always played a huge role in the lives of the families we serve. We cannot thank you enough for your time and commitment to Family Promise of Waukesha County. Our opportunities have recently changed due to the pandemic. Please see below for our current Volunteer needs. Please reach out to volunteer@familypromisewaukeshawi.org
WINTER EMERGENCY OVERFLOW SHELTER CLOSED
On Monday, February 10th, another pipe burst at the overflow shelter damaging a portion of the facility. The EOS will remain closed for the duration of the winter. As a result, scheduled meals and driving shifts for the remainder of February and March will be cancelled.
