Several times a year, St. Paul’s co-hosts a Family Promise (formerly known as Wake Interfaith Hospitality Network) week with White Plains Methodist Church.  The participants are families in the Triangle area. Most have lost their homes while they struggle to get make ends meet. There are many reasons for their struggles, but often the families who are just barely making ends meet, then are faced with a medical problem or other unexpected major expense. Family Promise seeks to give these families a hand while also setting them on the path to independence.

For those several months when the families are in the program, they move from church to church, staying one week in each. The church clears out Sunday School rooms, where the families sleep. Each morning, the kids go to school or day care, while the parents go to work or get assistance finding jobs, etc.

We partner with White Plains UMC, that provides the facilities and half the labor for our week. We provide the other half of the labor. There are a few options for volunteering. One is to be a social host. Social hosts help out after dinner, entertaining the kids while the adults get just a little time to themselves (which they may even use for things like tracking down job leads). This is a good opportunity for a volunteer family to interact with the kids. Another volunteer opportunity is to be an overnight host. Those arrive around between 8:00 and 9:00 PM. They often have conversations with the families, then lock up and sleep in a classroom.  Conversations with the participants are often very rewarding. This program is really making a difference in their lives (even though it isn’t easy to move from church to church, living out of Sunday School rooms).

Is volunteering with Family Promise something that you’d be willing to give a try?  Contact Kathleen Neff (kathleen@trioptimum.com) or Myrna Belingon (tmb.jersey@gmail.com).

Nextdoor Instructions

Thank you for agreeing to publicize Lobster Fest on Nextdoor. Here are a few things we’re asking:

  1. Please post this as an Event.
  2. Under “Choose Neighbors,” select Yours and Nearby
  3. For Category, choose Festival. Title is “Lobster Fest Cary“.
  4. Cut and paste this description, please:

Lobster Fest Cary brings the fresh taste of Maine lobster right here to Wake County! The lobsters are pulled out of the water, packed in a cooler truck in Maine and driven overnight to Cary. Dine-In and enjoy a social event or Take Out and make your own event – Live Lobster, Cooked Lobster, Lobster Rolls – you decide! Pre-ordering online (lobsterfestcary.org) is a must, as quantities often run out early in the day, and we hate to disappoint Lobster Lovers.
