A Message from Family Promise:
We Celebrate Our Cultural Differences!
Dear Family Promise Community,
With all the difficulties and challenges in the world right now, we want to take a moment to highlight the good and to celebrate the successes, the strength, and the joy we witness every day in this community.
We know that the families we work with are feeling afraid due to recent actions and threats by the American government. It breaks our hearts that families who have already faced so much, fleeing violence, persecution, and instability, are once again being asked to live in fear.
We want you and all the families we work with to know that you are not alone; Family Promise stands with you. We see your courage, your resilience, and your dreams for your children. And we are committed to walking beside you with compassion, dignity, and love.
That’s why we recently came together for our annual African cultural celebration to celebrate what unites us - our cultures, our stories, and our shared humanity. The cultural celebration was filled with love, laughter, music, colorful vibrant clothing, and delicious African food that we ordered from two different Family Promise graduates who have started their own businesses.
We believe in honoring your identities, not erasing them. We believe that culture and customs are not just remnants of the past, but living parts of who you are and gifts to be celebrated.
We remain committed to creating a space where diverse cultures are welcomed, uplifted, and protected.
With love and solidarity,
Michelle Lamm
Executive Director
