March 26, 2026 – Closing the First Quarter | Day 12 of 15 The Heart of Community “When the Grandma Program was started, I was so happy to come to the shelter as ‘Gramma Sue.’ I was able to spend time with many of the children coloring, reading books, and engaging them in a variety of activities.” At Family Promise of the Chippewa Valley, programs like our Grandma Program bring more than just support—they bring connection, comfort, and joy. Volunteers like Grandma Sue create moments of normalcy for children and a sense of community for families navigating uncertain times. These moments matter. They build trust, spark joy, and remind families they are not alone. As we reflect on the first quarter, we are grateful for the many hands and hearts that help make this work possible. Every story, every connection, every moment—matters. #FamilyPromiseCV #CommunityMatters #VolunteerImpact #GrandmaProgram #ChippewaValley #EndHomelessness

March 24, 2026 – Big shoutout to the Pleasant Hill Go Getters for their incredible work! 👏 Grayson, President and a senior at North High School, led this project as his Youth Leadership Project, an initiative where students in grades 6–12 take the lead each year to make a difference in their community. With the help of 27 members, the group participated in a first aid training and put together “ouch kits” to support those in need. Thank you, Grayson and the entire team, for your leadership, compassion, and commitment to helping others!

March 24, 2026 – Day 10 of 15 | Working Together This first quarter, this is one example of how support came together to help a family move forward. When a family came to Family Promise of the Chippewa Valley, we began by working alongside them to understand their situation, identify barriers, and create a plan. From there, the work expanded beyond one program or one organization. Workforce Resource Center supported employment readiness. Employment and temp agencies helped create quick access to job opportunities and income. CCS resources provided additional support for children. Mental health services helped strengthen stability. Volunteers, including Grandparent Hour, offered encouragement and connection. And a landlord’s “yes” made stable housing possible. Each step built on the next. This is what the work often looks like — coordination, persistence, and a community coming together to support a family through each stage of their journey. Because no single step gets a family to stability. It takes all of them, working together. #community, #collaboration, #familypromise, #familypromisecv

March 23, 2026 – Day 9 of 15 | Moving Forward Support is only the beginning, what matters most is where it leads. As families work toward stability, progress happens step by step. In this first quarter: • 7 families have secured employment • 5 families have identified reliable childcare For one parent, securing childcare meant finally being able to accept a job offer after weeks of searching. These are critical milestones, creating income, establishing routines, and making it possible for parents to work and children to thrive. With the right support, families are able to move beyond immediate crisis and build a foundation for long-term stability. This is the work that carries families forward. It’s not just about where they start, it’s about where they’re going. And every step forward matters. #15DaysOfGratitude #FamilyPromiseCV #PathToStability #EndingHomelessness

March 22, 2026 – Day 8 of 15 | What Your Support Made Possible As we reflect on this first quarter, we’re reminded that every number represents real people and real progress. Behind each number is a parent working toward stability, a child finding routine, and a family moving forward. This is what your support makes possible, every single day. #15DaysOfGratitude #FamilyPromiseCV #CommunityImpact #EndingHomelessness

March 21, 2026 – Day 7 of 15 | A Moment of Gratitude Today, we pause to say thank you. To the landlord who said yes! thank you. 37 no's is hard to hear, but one yes, means everything. This is often times a families journey to securing housing, your yes changed everything. Your willingness to open a door created more than just a lease. It created relief, stability, and a path forward. We are grateful for the families who trust us during uncertain times, for the staff who show up each day with compassion and care, and for the volunteers, supporters, and community partners who make this work possible. Every act of support matters. Every step forward matters. Every yes matters. We are deeply grateful for the community that surrounds this work and helps make stability possible. #15DaysOfGratitude #FamilyPromiseCV #HousingMatters #CommunitySupport #EndingHomelessness
