Family Promise of Berks County

I absolutely love Family Promise and they do everything they can to help families that are going through hard times. Miss Donna has become a wonderful mentor for myself and they were able to get us into temporary housing. We are not yet in our own home, but I have no doubt that we will get there in no time. If you’re a young single parent and need assistance.. don’t hesitate to go there. They make promises and they keep it.

Family promise is a great resource for families in need. They provide so much support to families. I wish more people would know about his agency because they are a blessing to families with children. From hygiene items to housing support. They have a well organized program for families in need of independent living skids.
I recommend this place

NO HELP AT ALL

Prior to me getting my first home I reached out to Family Promise to see where I could be guided on receiving help. Since I was in the military, I got help via another program (not associated w. Family Promise). Over the past year and few months, I fell into a hole due to a mental breakdown because of stress. I was hospitalized, and resulted in me resigning from my job. I spoke w/ Lee Wilder who is the "Director" of this whole entire "program". I was nothing less than understanding and cordial in providing what was needed to qualify me for aid. The days kept passing and dwindling until my eviction notice. EVERYDAY I called Mr. Wilder. I emailed him. I spoke to his secretary NUMEROUS times. I got no response from him. Mr. Wilder is in a position to aid or not aid individuals in DIRE situations. NO ONE WANTS TO LOSE THEIR HOME!! I did and am still not in a good place. If I would have gotten the help to aid me ONE time, when I fell on my knees. What the place here for if THEY WONT HELP! I DONT KNOW HOW THIS IS A PLACE THE STATE RECOMMENDS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HELP!

I went to family promise 3x asking for help not one time they helped me… they pick and choose who they want to assist…
