Holiday Giving Fund

This Holiday Season, Give Our Families the Gift of a Promising New Beginning
A warm bed, a special meal, a safe and stable home—simple joys that families in the crisis of homelessness only dream about.
Family Promise of Bergen County empowers working families experiencing homelessness to turn their dreams into a reality. By providing temporary housing and individualized, wrap-around support, we are committed to equipping families with the tools and resources needed to grow, thrive, and break the cycle of poverty for themselves and future generations.
This holiday season, you can help make a difference in the lives of the parents and children we serve by supporting the Family Promise Holiday Giving Fund. Your contribution will allow us to continue to provide the vital services families need on their journey to become self-sufficient, and help make the most wonderful time of the year a little bit brighter for those we serve.
Together, we can give families the greatest gift of all—a bright and promising future.
More Ways to Give for the Holidays
Gift cards to major retailers not only empower parents to choose the perfect holiday present for their child, but also provide their families with the necessary items they need throughout the year. Please consider donating denominations of $25 or more of the following:
- Amazon
- Target
- Walmart
- Kohls
- T.J. Maxx & Marshalls
- Grocery stores (Stop & Shop, Shoprite, Aldi)
- Gas station gift cards
- Uber & Lyft
- AMEX & Visa gift cards
For many, the holidays season means enjoying fun seasonal activities, catching the latest blockbuster in theaters, or enjoying a meal at a favorite restaurant. However, for families who are struggling to pay rent, groceries, or other necessities, these are luxuries that they simply cannot afford. Please consider giving parents the opportunity to have a special day out with their children by donating gift cards for local recreational activities, movie theaters, and restaurant chains, and help them create memories that will last a lifetime.
