May 10, 2026 – Mother's Day at Family Promise of the Chippewa Valley - Beacon House Yesterday during Saturday Programming, children worked alongside staff to help create a special Mother’s Day celebration for the moms staying in shelter. With flowers donated by community members, handmade cards and drawings created by the children, and thoughtful gifts, each detail was prepared with care and excitement. For families navigating uncertainty, creating opportunities for joy, connection, and celebration is also part of the work. Today we celebrate the mothers who continue showing strength, love, and resilience for their children every single day. Happy Mother’s Day from Family Promise of the Chippewa Valley. #MothersDay #FamilyPromiseCV #BeaconHouse #SaturdayProgramming #FamilySupport #CommunityCare #PathToStability

May 10, 2026 – Day one. This was the reality the day this mom moved her family into their home, after 90 days in shelter. In those 90 days, she navigated job loss, medical challenges, and setbacks that could have unraveled everything. And still, she kept going. Ten days later, they are settling in. Not perfect. Not finished. But home. This Mother’s Day, we recognize the strength it takes to keep going… even in the hardest moments. #MothersDay #FamilyPromisecv #OurImpact #StrongerTogether

May 5, 2026 – Community Dinner & Stories was just the beginning. What comes next is up to all of us. Families in our community are working every day to rebuild, to find stability, to create something different for their children. And they cannot do it alone. If you’ve been thinking about what your role might be, this is your invitation. To stay connected. To support. To be part of what comes next. #FamilyPromisecv #StrongerTogether #CommunityImpact

May 4, 2026 – After Community Dinner & Stories, I’ve been thinking about the questions we placed on each table. What does stability really mean for a family? After disruption, how long does it take to stabilize again, and who decides? What role does community play in helping people rebuild? And when we see a need, what are we willing to do? If we did not know of the need before, now that we do, how will we show up? These conversations don’t end when the room clears. They stay with us. #FamilyPromisecv #CommunityDinnerAndStories #StrongerTogether

May 3, 2026 – As I looked across the room during Community Dinner & Stories last Thursday, there were more than a few not-so-dry eyes. There were moments where the room grew quiet, where people leaned in… where the stories being shared weren’t just heard; but felt. It was not about the event, but the understanding that comes from it. Families in our community are working every day to rebuild, to find stability, to create something different for their children. And they cannot do it alone. None of us can. So much of what we overcome, rebuild, and carry forward is possible because of community, people who show up, listen, support, and walk alongside one another. So the question becomes—what stays with you? #FamilyPromisecv #CommunityDinnerAndStories #StrongerTogether

May 2, 2026 – Thank you to the Leader-Telegram for helping share the story of our first-ever Community Dinner & Stories. This week, that story came to life. Our community gathered, listened, and showed what it means to walk alongside families as they move from crisis to stability. We are grateful for everyone who was part of this evening—and for a community that continues to show up.

May 2, 2026 – Our first-ever Community Dinner & Stories came with the unknowns that first events often do. No one fully knew what to expect. And I watched our team do what they do every day when a family comes into shelter: prepare for the unexpected, stay steady, and hold things together with care. Behind every meaningful moment was a team who showed up with commitment, flexibility, and heart. From planning… to setting the room… to supporting each other and guests throughout the evening… This team carried it, from staff to board members. I am grateful for each of you, for the work you do every day, and for the way you showed up at Community Dinner & Stories on April 30, 2026. #FamilyPromisecv #StrongerTogether #CommunityImpact

May 1, 2026 – May Day Reflections As May 1st comes to a close, we’re thinking about what “home” really means. For the families we serve, home isn’t just a place, it’s safety, stability, and the chance to rest without worry. Tonight, while many of us settle in, there are still families working toward that sense of peace. At Family Promise of the Chippewa Valley – Beacon House, we’re honored to walk alongside them as they rebuild, one step at a time. This May, you can be part of that journey: Give if you’re able: https://www.familypromisecv.org/donate Volunteer your time Share our mission New beginnings don’t happen alone; they happen because of community. #MayDay #HopeStartsHere #BeaconHouse #FamilyPromise #EndHomelessness
