Family Promise of Hall County Inc

FPHC's Diaper Bank program began in October 2018 provided by the Junior League of Gainesville-Hall County and the Diaper Bank of North Georgia. Each month, on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays from 10am to 12pm, alongside the Family Food Market, we distribute a max of 2 bundles of diapers (25 diapers per bundle) per child per month.

The "Local Initiative for Family Empowerment" or L.I.F.E. Program provides free life-skills training workshops for families and individuals in Hall County. Families in the Empowerment and Next Step Programs are required to attend a certain number of classes. The classes cover various topics such as financial literacy, parenting, healthy living, job skills, and career development, all with the goal of ​cultivating healthy relationships and equipping families with practical life skills.

FPHC's Empowerment (Shelter) Program can help low-income families achieve lasting independence by providing shelter, meals, and support services. Through intensive case management and counseling, we address the underlying causes of homelessness. Coming in the Fall of 2021, we will begin housing families at the Homestead, our centralized campus.

Family Promise of Hall County began offering its Family Food Market (FFM) in October 2020, a client-choice food pantry where low-income families can shop for the items they need. ​The Family Food Market is open to the public on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 10am to 12pm. ID is encouraged but not required. FFM gets the majority of its food from our partners the Georgia Mountain Food Bank and the Atlanta Community Food Bank. We supplement our inventory with donations from community individuals and groups.

The Next Step (Transitional Housing) Program provides affordable housing opportunities to graduates of FPHC's Empowerment Program. There is an affordable housing crisis in Hall County, and it is the number one obstacle to long-term success for low-income families. By providing low-rent housing options for our families, the likelihood that they will achieve ​long-term success increases greatly.
