In 2023 Family Promise Fills Up Facility!
Family Promise opened a much larger facility in 2022., purchaed with a grant from the City of Odessa Community Block Grant Program. In the same location as the previous center, the new home has almost twice the space and now has twice as many people!
Family Promise Increases Services
Family promise served ten families in 2023. A total of 44 people, including 7 newborn babies (34 children altogether) have benefitted from the overnight stays in the FPOcenter!
