Elida Immanuel Church partners with Family Promise of Northwestern Ohio! Here are some important updates.
Family Promise NWO is facing record-breaking demand as more local families seek safe shelter and emergency assistance. As of October 1, thirty families (120 individuals, including 68 children) were staying in shelter. This year, FP of NWO has helped more than 140 families (454 individuals, including 231 children) through shelter and other services. Despite extending its space, families are still waiting for shelter.
