General Information:
Our mission is to reduce homelessness for children and their families in Anderson County by uniting local congregations through an Interfaith Hospitality Network to provide shelter, food and the necessary tools needed for the families to regain their independence.
Lodging for qualified families is provided by congregations of faith (Host Congregations). Host Congregations located across Anderson County provide lodging space for our guest one week at a time. Each Host Congregation has a team of volunteers who designate their time and resources to express hospitality to FPAC guest. Volunteers provide fellowship, hot dinners served in a "family style" setting, breakfast and lunch items for the guest to take with them during the day. Transitional Housing: Our transitional housing program is designed for guest who may need extra time to take care of obstacles that will hinder them from entering into permanent housing. Guest that have successfully completed the IHN program may apply for this program in hopes to extend their stay and receive services.
