Family Promise of Acadiana’s mission is to shelter, to serve and to teach homeless families to learn self-sufficiency, achieve self-independence and to end the homeless cycle in their lives. By furnishing sleeping accommodations and a “hospitality room” where guests relax, socialize, do homework, or watch television, homeless families sleep up to 1 week at the parish and are provided an evening meal, breakfast and a bagged lunch. Volunteers are needed to prepare for the guests arrival and provide them with warmth and hospitality.
