How You Can Help
We rely on generous support from local donors, volunteers, and community partners to continue our programs and services.
Donate
Families experiencing a housing crisis can rebuild their future thanks to the generosity of our community. Each donation has the potential to impact a family and change their lives forever. Donate today via our secure website.
Gifts can also be made in memory or honor of your loved ones. Encourage your friends and family to remember loved ones through gifts to Family Promise of South Sarasota County. The memory will live on in assistance given to families in need. If this applies to your gift, please specify in the Additional Information section of the donation page.
Make The Promise
The foundation on which housing insecure families rebuild their future would not be possible without the generosity of our community. Each donation has the potential to impact a family and change their lives forever. A monthly gift allows us to ensure the sustainability of our mission and services in South Sarasota County.
Housing costs have increased to more than 50-70% of some working families take home pay in the county. Housing should cost no more than 30% of a family’s income. Family Promise of South Sarasota County is attempting to solve this problem by acquiring housing that will be affordable for our service workers that we need to keep here to provide services for all of us.
