Your January and February Tzedakah Box donations support Families Moving Forward.
As of late December, there are nearly 40 unsheltered families in Durham and dozens more just days away from being homeless. You can help address this crisis by supporting Families Moving Forward (FMF), Durham’s primary emergency shelter for families with children.
FMF provides temporary housing, case management, skills education, and connection to community resources to help parents and children thrive in stable homes. The program also offers up to a year of aftercare to help families maintain stability, strengthen life skills, and address other needs once they’re rehoused. More than 90% of families that transition from FMF’s shelter program to permanent housing are still housed 12 months later.
We are also collecting gift cards to help families staying at FMF buy essential items; those cards may be purchased from this list and delivered to Jordan Wade. If you have questions, please contact Robin Schwartz robins@judeareform.org.
