St. Cornelius volunteers support Family Promise, a non-profit which serves homeless families in southern Chester County. Before COVID, 40 plus St. Cornelius volunteers were actively involved in volunteering at a church site in Kennett Square, where the homeless families were provided meals and overnight accommodations. Volunteers have received email notices for updating clearances. There will be a time, when we will be able to meet in person, once again, so please complete this request.
Family Promise is currently exploring ways to provide social services to families on a waiting list and living temporarily with relatives or friends. They no longer have their hotel benefactor, so Family Promise will be covering the costs of hotels.
Renna Van Oot, Executive Director of Family Promise, reflects in a recent message to the volunteers: “When we share our gifts with one another, the gift becomes even greater.” For questions; to make additional donations or become a volunteer, please contact Kathy Silvon at msilvon@aol.comor call 484-720-8214.
