Mission Opportunity
Family Promise of Orange County is an interfaith hospitality network of congregations that provide emergency shelter, hospitality, and services to homeless families. The goal of this organization is to eliminate the homelessness of each family served and place families in homes of their own in about two months. Tustin Presbyterian Church has been among the founding congregations for the organization in Orange County.

How Can You Help?
TPC welcomes your support in making the families who stay with us feel welcome, safe, and able to take the next steps toward their own independence. In one week, nearly 50 volunteer opportunities are possible. You could help welcome our new guests, or set up, disassemble and move guest beds, cook and/or host and share dinner with our guests, help children with homework, organize games, stay overnight at TPC along with our guests, help plan meals around dietary restrictions, shop for groceries, or drive guests in our 15 passenger van. Or perhaps you have a special talent to contribute such as sewing, taking professional family photos, cutting and styling hair, or giving manicures/pedicures? The opportunities to participate with TPC in this important local mission are boundless.
To volunteer, please contact Sandra Bear, TPC member and TPC’s Family Promise Volunteer Coordinator, at bear2tandem@att.net.
A Fantastic Week with Family Promise!
We hosted our second round of families from April 22 through April 29, and we would like to thank all our volunteers for the great help we received. Our prayers are with the entire Family Promise Orange County network and its board as they continue in this important ministry. We made a difference in the lives of four families — six adults and seven children. Thanks be to God!
We can always use your help , and the next hosting duties will be in July. Call Sandra Bear at 714-501-0668 if you would like to volunteer.
