The BIG Move.

Let’s have an honesty moment - deciding to move our entire operation to a new location over the Christmas holiday might have been the craziest thing Family Promise has ever done. In the past two weeks, we moved into our new office, graduated and moved a family of four into their new home, distributed Christmas to our families, and (by the grace of Jesus) found a moment to breathe and enjoy family around the holidays.

As I walk through our new facility, I’m overwhelmed by the possibilities this space possesses. Our new Day Center is a bundle of activity and paint and cleaning and unpacking. The staff wants to say a very sincere thank you to the handful of volunteers that have made this move possible. We know that many of you would have loved to help, but the holidays are a busy time. Don’t worry - we still have plenty of opportunities to get involved in the coming weeks and months. Curious how you can plug in?

  • Cleaning Day - Monday January 4th. We’ll meet at 946 Lanier Avenue Gainesville 30501 between 9am and 11am to deep clean our old property. Then we’ll hop over to the new building (1001 Riverside Drive Gainesville 30501) to vacuum the floors. If you have vacuums, brooms, mops, gloves, and cleaning supplies, we would love you to bring them!
  • Storage Swap Moving Day - Trailers/Trucks Needed. Now that we’ve got our office relocated, we need to move the donated furniture from our shared storage space on Washington Street to the basement of our new building. It’s a big job! We’ll need strong hands, trucks, trailers, and willing volunteers to help make that move smooth and successful. Do you have a truck or trailer? If so, we’d love to set up a time between 9am and 4pm on a weekday to load some things up and get moving.
  • Painting Service Projects. Walk into our lobby and it’ll be clear pretty quickly that we’re overdue for a good paint job. The drug rehab facility that used the space before us was definitely going for an “urban eclectic” feel… Just check out the pictures to catch our drift. This is a great opportunity for your small group, Sunday school class, or team at work to get involved.

* If you’re interested in any of these opportunities, call us at 770.535.0786 or email Lindsey McCamy at lindsey@familypromisehall.org.

Anyone who has ever moved knows how incredibly stressful and exciting it can be all at once. We’re finally getting organized and appreciate everyone’s grace and patience with our suspended communication over the past few days. If you’re in the neighborhood, feel free to drop in and take a tour. We can’t wait for everyone to visit this space and see the amazing possibilities it holds.

With warm regards,
Amanda Ayers
Program Manager, Family Promise
