Why I Give

In honor of…
When we celebrate the people we love — birthdays, anniversaries, or those little milestones that mean so much — sometimes a physical gift just doesn’t feel quite right. So often we hear, “I don’t need anything!” What they do want is to feel loved, appreciated, and remembered.

Making a donation to Family Promise of Bergen County in someone’s honor is a beautiful way to say, “You matter, and so does the kindness you inspire.”

❤️ Give hope to a working family facing homelessness.
❤️ Share a warm meal with a hungry neighbor.
❤️ Turn your love for someone into hope for many.

In memory of…
This year, our Family Promise community experienced a heartbreaking loss. Lisa Woods, a cherished member of our founder Nancy Woods’ family, passed away. In the days that followed, neighbors, friends, and loved ones came together — not just with words, but with action.

Gifts made in Lisa’s memory lifted hearts, offered shelter, and nourished families in need. What a meaningful way to honor a life: by helping hundreds of others find safety, dignity, and hope through our programs.

Love lives on through every act of kindness.
