Family Promise is a local organization that assists our homeless population in Sussex, Morris and Warren counties. In Sussex County there are 19 "hosts" churches and approximately 20 "support" churches. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is a "support" church that assists Frankford Plains Methodist Church in Frankford every 3 months. The homeless, referred to as "guests" stay at each of the host church for one week. We at OLMC provide a dinner and overnight coverage on Thursday and Friday of the week the guests are staying at Frankford Plains church.
Family Promise provides transportation for the children in the program who attend the local schools. Family Promise assists the adults in the program in getting employment if necessary and finding permanent housing. It's a rewarding program for all involved. We are always looking for volunteers and if you would like anymore information please call Mary Anne Condit at 973-219-3352.
