    20 YEAR CELEBRATION - YEAR 2030

    Family Promise of Washington County celebrates our anniversary every 5 years to spotlight a special occasion for our supporters. On September 19, 2025, we celebrated 15 years, our crystal anniversary, of being a community response to homelessness. Reimagine the phrase, “diamond in the rough;” someone with potential that hasn't yet been fully realized. Join us to celebrate our "crystals”— individuals who have come to us, discovered their potential, and achieved safety and stability. We present the “Crystal in the Rough” event; a unique opportunity to explore a private showcase of property at the Schloemer Family Stable House. This gala will be a special honor of 15 years in service as well as support us in raising funds to sustain our services over the next 5 years. Family Promise of Washington County recently expanded to serve families, as well as single men and women, all under one roof. The building has been designed to provide everyone with the necessary space and comfort. We serve to empower lives with compassion by offering resources and services that prevent and end homelessness, with the goal of achieving permanent housing for all.

    As a contributor to Family Promise of Washington County and to our community, we would be overwhelmingly grateful if you become a sponsor or ticket holder to our celebration. Your involvement would be helpful as we would be allowed to engage and inspire other community members as well as make this one-time event a success for our homeless families and individuals that we serve. To learn more or if you may have questions, you can email us at events@familypromisewc.org or call at (262) 353-9304.
