Thank You, but our work is not done…

SOWSA would like to thank all the volunteers who helped out with the recent event on November 4^th in support of our adopted agency Family Promise.

Your help was greatly appreciated!

But our work is not done…..

In the Spirit of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and in our continued partnership with Family Promise, SOWSA is looking for volunteers to stay with the families of the program at a designated shelter on Friday, November 26^th and/or at the day center on Saturday, November 27^th

Hours vary from morning to overnight!

Please help us support this great agency that does so much for homeless families in Palm Beach County!

Time spent with these families will be much more than a few hours out of your day… it could be a life changing experience!

For more information or to sign up to volunteer, please contact SOWSA’s Community events committee chairperson: Tanisha Julias at: tjulias@fau.edu

Thank you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
