Families Moving Forward

COVID-19 Update:

• Families are being provided shelter in hotels. Churches scheduled to host are providing food for the families.
• Our next week of hosting is September 27- October 4. We will not be hosting families in the church building, we will help with food needs for the families in shelter that week.

Ending homelessness one family at a time

Volunteers are needed to help provide for guests in our building: set-up, clean-up, greet on Sunday, cook an evening meal, cook a hot breakfast on Saturday, provide evening hospitality, host overnight and do laundry.

More about Families Moving Forward

Families Moving Forward (FMF) is a program of Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative.

FMF provides services to families during the day and a network of Twin Cities churches hosts the families in their buildings at night. The families are tightly screened before they are accepted into the program and only 14 people are accepted at a time.

Each evening they are transported by FMF to the church. We provide an evening meal, hospitality, a “bedroom” for each family, and breakfast each day during the week.

Families are bused by FMF back to the day shelter each morning where they are able to shower and work with FMF staff to get the pieces of their lives back in order.

Families Moving Forward is aligned with Immanuel's vision: Called to care. Sent to serve.
