Mission

Family Promise of Lubbock's mission is to provide homeless families with children the tools necessary to achieve long term financial, parental and personal self-sufficiency through a comprehensive program of temporary housing, case management and supportive services.

History

Lubbock Interfaith Hospitality Network, a nonprofit, non-denominational, volunteer-based organization, opened its doors in the fall of 1998 reaching out to homeless families with children. In early 2006 Lubbock Interfaith Hospitality Network changed its name to Family Promise. Our new name, "Family Promise", consists of two simple words that deliver a powerful message of hope. It is a pledge of our commitment to help families with children achieve stability and self-sufficiency.

Family Promise partners with religious congregations, community organizations and local social service organizations to help families achieve sustainable independence. We are one of more than 112 local, autonomous Family Promise affiliates operating in 36 states; we are linked by membership to the National Family Promise. Family Promise has been selected to represent American Volunteerism for three consecutive years in a special project, jointly sponsored by the United States Information Agency and the Points of Light Foundation, involving visitors from ten foreign countries.
