Family Promise of South Palm Beach County

Family Promise of South Palm Beach County has been instrumental in helping children and families in South Palm Beach County who have become temporarily homeless get back on their feet and into a home of their own. In only its third year of operation, Family Promise of South Palm Beach County has become one of many strong advocates for less fortunate children and families who find themselves in difficult financial situations.
