Family REACH Alliance
Family REACH Alliance (formerly Family Promise) is a faith-based community response to the issue of homeless families and children, sometimes known as the "invisible homeless." St. Michael's hosts families twice a year in our Parish Life Center, providing meals, fellowship and a safe place to sleep for a week at a time. When our Family REACH Alliance guests are at St. Michael's, we need volunteers to assist with cooking and serving meals, providing fellowship, and serving as overnight "innkeepers," among other duties.
