Each year, one in 50 kids experiences homelessness.   

For kids, homelessness means sleeping in crowded shelters, on couches, in cars, or sometimes on the streets. It means frequent moves, being separated from family and exposure to "adult" issues, like alcoholism, drugs and violence. This 
short video from the Tacoma Rescue Mission provides first-hand accounts from kids who have had to sleep in cars, witness their parents' downward spiral into alcoholism, or sleep in crowded shelters.   Homeless families in Merced County desperately need Family Promise of Greater Merced to open its doors to them. Please contact us and help us recruit your church to become  a host congregation of Family Promise of Greater Merced.   With your help, we can make a difference.
