Our Story

Our Story Little Girl and Mommy

Familyย Promiseย of Ogdenย  (FPO) is an affiliate ofย Familyย Promiseย National, a nonprofit with more than 200 chapters that utilizes local-partnerships within the city and county to change lives. Familyย Promiseย of Ogden does not receive funding from the national organization, State or Government entities.

In 2015, as a response to the direct need of homelessย families, and to develop a cost effective and community based approach to ending homelessness in Weber County, an interfaith coalition comprised of kind hearted volunteers collaborated to develop a nonsectarian plan to support homelessย familiesย and provide them with safe overnight shelter, assist them in regaining self-sufficiency and sustaining their independence.ย Familyย Promiseย of Ogden makes this possible with the support of organizations and partnerships that addressย family homelessness right in our own community. In 2016, the coalition received its 501c3 nonprofit status forย Familyย Promiseย of Ogden and finally in May 2017ย Familyย Promiseย of Ogden was able to house its firstย family.

Today,ย Familyย Promiseย of Ogden continues to grow supported by their strong volunteer force. Approximately two- thirds of FPOโ€™s budget comes from community membersโ€™ cash and in-kind donations. Additionally, our hosting churches and our Board of Directors give generously to our cause. We work hard and with determination because we believe that every child deserves a home.
