Family Promise


Sunday, June 29 - Sunday, July 6, All Day

The week of Independence Day is a great time to show our community spirit as we again host Family Promise at Am Yisrael on June 29 to July 6. Family Promise is a group of faith communities/congregations and non-profit organizations that provide temporary housing to unhoused families as they transition to permanent housing.

You and your family can sign up to help by clicking here.  

  • Serve and eat dinner with our guests
  • Prepare or bring a dairy meal to share
  • Spend the night at the synagogue
  • Donate food (only the specific Kosher food listed)
  • Financial support

For those who have not yet had the opportunity to volunteer, you can find more information by clicking here. The week before our guests arrive, we will send all volunteers an email confirming your availability and sharing information about the families we will be hosting.

B’shalom,
Annette Doherty, Aleeza Strubel, and Aaron Tam
