Family Promise Moving Forward

Dear Friends,
Usually we look forward to the summer as a time to kick back and relax. NOT THIS YEAR! This summer, the volunteers, congregations, staff, and Board of Trustees are gearing up for the opening of the first Family Promise Network in Bergen County.

St. Anastasia Parish in Teaneck Donates $15,000

Rev. William O’Malley of St. Anastasia Parish in Teaneck, representing the Order of Carmelites, presents a check to Nancy Woods and Kate Duggan of Family Promise of Bergen County, formerly the Interreligious Fellowship for the Homeless of Bergen County.

Teen Philanthropy Institute

If someone gave you $10,000 to heal the world, what would you do?

This was the question posed to members of the Teen Philanthropy Institute from the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades. Each year, three groups of 20 teenagers form grant-making boards and set out by identifying causes that interest them.
