Family Promise of Irving Family Promise of Irving is a faith-based non-profit ministry that provides shelter for families who are experiencing homelessness.

Family Promise of Irving is affiliated with the nationwide Family Promise which began in New York City in 1986. 80% of the families who complete the program have secured permanent housing. How does Family Promise Work? Host Churches commit to sharing the responsibility of hosting 3-5 families every night (5pm to 7am) for seven nights, every 10 – 13 weeks. Meals are provided for the families by volunteers of the host church. Tutoring, activities and companionship are offered to the guests by volunteers who arrive after dinner. Overnight Hosts (one male and one female) stay with the guests until breakfast volunteers arrive. Families are transported to and from the host church in a network van driven by host church volunteers. During the day, the families go to the day facility where they work with the Network Director to develop a plan for finding housing, jobs or job training. The Day Facility serves as the permanent address for families and is also where the families take care of personal needs (showers, laundry, etc.) Interested in getting involved or just want to know more?

✨ Tomorrow’s Promise: Where Hope Meets Action. ✨

Leaving Phoenix with full hearts, fresh perspective, and an even deeper belief in what’s possible when passionate people come together with one shared purpose. 💙

The Family Promise National Conference brought together an inspiring community of dreamers, doers, and changemakers who are not only imagining a brighter future for families experiencing homelessness, but taking bold, intentional steps to make it a reality.
We were reminded that behind every number is a family, behind every program is a possibility, and behind every act of service is the opportunity to change the course of someone’s future. We learned, shared ideas, built meaningful connections, and left energized by the incredible work happening across our network.

The vision is ambitious: reach more families, strengthen our communities, and ensure that more parents and children have the opportunity to find stability, hope, and a place to call home. And we know that meaningful change happens when we work together, dream bigger, and turn our shared commitment into action.

At Family Promise of Irving, we’re bringing that inspiration home with renewed purpose and a heart full of promise. Because tomorrow doesn’t happen by hope alone. It happens when we put that hope into action. 💫

Here’s to the families we serve, the communities we strengthen, and the promise of what we can accomplish together.
Tomorrow’s Promise starts with what we do today. 🏡❤️

Sometimes, the smallest notes carry the biggest messages ❤️‍🩹

While attending the Family Promise National Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, we heard a story that truly touched our hearts, and we wanted to share it with you.

A five-year-old little girl named Julia and her mother were experiencing homelessness and entered a Family Promise shelter program. Their journey wasn’t easy. There were barriers to overcome, challenges along the way, victories to celebrate, and setbacks that required resilience. But through it all, they kept going. Eventually, they found their way home. 🏡

As they reached the end of their journey, Julia wanted to say thank you to someone who had been part of their story. So, her mom brought him a little note from Julia.

It was a sticky note with Julia’s name written on it ten times.

Just her name. Ten times.

And yet, that little note said so much. You could tell that Julia wanted to say more.

It reminds us that children experiencing homelessness may not always have the words to explain what they’re going through. They may not know how to express the uncertainty, the fear, the changes, or the emotions that come with not having a place to call home. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t feeling it all.

Maybe Julia wanted to say thank you. Maybe she wanted to share a little piece of herself. Maybe there was so much in her little heart that she simply didn’t yet know how to put into words.

We may never know exactly what Julia was trying to say, but her note is a beautiful reminder that behind every family experiencing homelessness is a story, and behind every story are hearts carrying more than words can express.

At Family Promise of Irving, this is why we do what we do. Because every family deserves the opportunity to find stability, every child deserves to feel safe, and every family deserves a place to call home.

Sometimes, a little sticky note is all it takes to remind us just how much this mission matters. 💛

💙 Small Acts of Kindness, BIG Impact! 💙

A huge THANK YOU to this group of amazing ladies from Irving Bible Church for volunteering with us! 🫶

Their mission? To give our supply closet a little extra care, love, and organization. What started as a “simple” project turned into something so much more! These ladies jumped right in, took initiative, and truly made the project their own. The result? A beautifully organized space that will make a real difference for our team and the families we serve. ✨

They shared that they wanted to give back to the community, and we are so grateful they chose to spend their time with us. Sometimes, it’s the behind-the-scenes projects that make the biggest difference, and their willingness to show up and serve is such a beautiful reminder of what community is all about. 💕

To each of these wonderful women, thank you for sharing your time, your talents, and your hearts with us. You made a difference in just two hours, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

This is what community in action looks like! 💙

Today is NTX Giving Day! 💙 A wonderful day to show your support! 💜 ⭐️

We are asking our Family Promise of Irving family to come together for one of our biggest fundraising efforts of the year.

If you have supported us before then you already know what we believe: every child deserves a safe place to call home. 🏡

The families we serve are working hard to rebuild their lives, but they cannot do it alone. Your support helps provide safe shelter, meals, transportation, essential needs, and the guidance families need to move toward stable housing.

Today, even a $20 gift matters. Twenty dollars may not feel like a lot, but when our community comes together, those gifts become something powerful. They help a child have a safe place to sleep. They help a parent take another step toward housing. They help a family move from crisis toward stability.

The funds we raise help us continue this work throughout the year. We truly cannot do it without the people who believe in our mission and choose to stand with the families we serve.

Would you consider making a $20, $50, $100, or whatever gift feels right to you today, to help us continue providing hope, stability, and a path home for families with children in our community. ❤️

💙Early Giving for NTX Giving Day is OPEN! 💙

Every child deserves a home.
A bed to sleep in.
A place to keep their favorite things.
A safe space to do their homework.
A kitchen where they can have a warm meal.
A place where they can simply be a kid.

But for families experiencing homelessness, those simple things can suddenly feel out of reach.

At Family Promise of Irving, we serve families with children who are facing one of the most difficult seasons of their lives. And while the circumstances may be complicated, one thing is simple:

Children should never have to carry the weight of homelessness.

Your donation helps change that.

Your gift helps provide families with safe shelter, meals, transportation, essential needs, case management, and the support parents need to work toward stable housing.

And what does that mean for a child?

It means a safe place to sleep tonight.
It means waking up knowing where they will be tomorrow.
It means being able to focus on school instead of worrying about where home will be.
It means getting to keep being a child while their parents work toward a better future.

When you give, you aren’t just helping a family. You’re helping protect a child’s sense of safety, stability, and hope.

This NTX Giving Day, will you help us make that possible for a child in our community?

Early Giving is happening NOW. Every gift matters. Every dollar helps. And together, we can help families move from homelessness to hope.

Consider giving today. Because every child deserves a home. 🏠💙

North Texas Giving Day 2026 is near!

We’re excited to officially launch our 2026 North Texas Giving Day campaign, with Early Giving beginning Thursday, August 27!

At Family Promise of Irving, we know that behind every request for help is a family working hard to keep their children safe, a family struggling to put food on the table, or a parent doing everything they can to find stable housing.

Your gift helps us meet families in those moments.

🏠 A safe place to stay while a parent works toward stability.
🥫 Groceries when a family is facing food insecurity or waiting on SNAP benefits.
⛽ Gas and essential support that helps parents get to work and keep moving forward.
🧼 Hygiene and household essentials that families need during a difficult season.
❤️ Connections to community resources when we can’t provide the service a family needs ourselves.

In 2025, approximately 350 families reached out through our Get Help form, and we received around 1,200 calls for assistance. We made 600+ referrals to connect families with resources and organizations throughout our community.

Those numbers represent real families. Real parents. Real children. And real moments when someone needed help.

Your donation helps us be there.

You don’t have to wait until Giving Day. Early Giving begins Thursday, August 27, and every gift—whether $10, $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can give—helps us continue walking alongside families from crisis toward stability.

💙 Mark your calendar. Share this post. And on August 27, help us give families more than a temporary solution—help us give them hope, support, and a path forward.
