Family Promise Support Week


  • The Neighborhood Church 415 Paseo Del Mar Palos Verdes Estates, CA, 90274 United States (map)

We partner with other local congregations in taking turns providing a week of support to Family Promise guests. Our next support week is August 14-20, and there are two ways that you can help homeless families with children:

  1. Provide A Precooked Meal
    Assist families by dropping off a hot or cold meal for a family of three. Possible food items include casseroles, pizza, desserts. More details are included below

  2. Donate Towards Gift Cards for Gas and Groceries
    Provide funds to purchase gift cards that families can use for gas and groceries. To donate, send a check payable to "The Neighborhood Church" to the Church office and note "Family Promise Gift Card Fund" in the memo line

If you would like to provide a precooked meal, please read the below—

Thank you for being interested in helping a family at one of our shelter locations with food. Currently, this is a drop off only opportunity, but as we begin to open up more we will invite the meal volunteer to stay and share the meal with families. To sign up, follow the instructions below:
