We’re honored to share that Family Promise of the Great Rivers has received a grant from the Green Bay Packers Foundation! 💚💛

This generous support goes directly toward funding our shelter management position, helping us respond to the growing need for services throughout Monroe County and the Coulee Region.

With a dedicated staff member overseeing shelter operations, we can help families move through our program more efficiently and secure stable, affordable housing. As shelter spaces become available, we can immediately reach out to families on our waiting list and work to get them into shelter as quickly as possible.

Every family deserves a safe place to call home, and this support helps us make that possible for more families in our community.

Thank you to the Green Bay Packers Foundation for investing in our mission and helping us make a difference in the lives of families facing a housing crisis! 🏡💚💛

💙🧡 A HUGE SHOUT-OUT TO THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS IN ONALASKA! 🧡💙

Family Promise of the Great Rivers would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to the donation collection at the women's conference! Your incredible generosity provided bathroom, kitchen, and cleaning supplies, along with these amazing move-in-ready kits for families starting fresh in their new homes. 🏡✨

These kits are so much more than baskets of supplies. They help families establish a home, settle in, and begin their next chapter with some of the essential items they need to get started. For families transitioning out of a housing crisis, having these necessities already available can make a world of difference!

Thanks to your kindness, families throughout Monroe County and the Coulee Region will have a little more support as they work toward stability and independence.

We are incredibly grateful for your generosity, compassion, and willingness to step up for our local families. It truly takes a community to make a difference, and we are so thankful to have a community that continues to show up in such meaningful ways! 💙

Thank you for helping turn houses into homes and giving families a fresh start! 🏡❤️

💙 A BIG SHOUT-OUT TO WESTBY CO-OP CREDIT UNION! 💙

A huge thank-you to this wonderful group of volunteers who stopped by Monday afternoon to lend a helping hand at Family Promise of the Great Rivers! From tackling yard work to organizing shelving in our basement, they jumped right in and made an incredible difference. 🌿🧹📦

Their hard work goes a long way toward helping us maintain a welcoming property, keep our space looking its best, and, most importantly, organize our supplies so we can better serve families in Monroe County and throughout the Coulee Region.

And honestly, everything looked absolutely AMAZING when they were finished! 🤩 Not only did they get so much accomplished, but they were also an incredibly fun group to work with!

We are so grateful for Westby Co-op Credit Union's generosity, community spirit, and support of our mission. It takes a community working together to make a difference, and we are thankful to have partners like you in our corner! 💙🧡

Thank you for showing up, pitching in, and helping us make a difference for local families!
