The evening will also include the presentation of the Cindy Lombardo Volunteer Award, given annually to an exceptional FPM volunteer nominated by families served by the organization, and the FPM Legacy Award, granted to an individual whose advocacy,generosity, and dedication to FPM’s mission will have a lasting impact on the organization.

Keeping the Promise is FPM’s largest annual fundraiser. The proceeds from donations, auction bids, raffle tickets, sponsorships, and ads provide funding for Family Promise Metrowest’s programs. These programs address a spectrum of housing and stabilization needs including safe shelter, transitional support, homelessness prevention, shelter diversion, and education and employment services. The organization also uniquely provides long-term family coaching in all programs to help families set and work toward goals to achieve stability and move out of poverty permanently. FPM’s broad network of community partners includes businesses, congregations, organizations, volunteers, and staff, all committed to the promise of keeping families together and in safe housing.
