Today we have more than 200 Affiliates in 43 states, with more in development. Family Promise is a leader in promoting volunteerism and has served as a model of American volunteerism in the U. S. and abroad. Our programs involve 180,000 volunteers nationwide who provide assistance to more than 50,000 family members annually. Family Promise was chosen to receive one of 21 Points of Light awards out of a field of more than 4,500 nominees.

Originally established as the Traveler’s Aid Society in 1923, The Road Home changed its name in 2001 to better reflect our mission of helping people step out of homelessness & back into our community. The Road Home is a private, non-profit social service agency that assists individuals & families with children experiencing homelessness in Salt Lake County & along the Wasatch Front. The agency has been providing emergency shelter services since 1988 & housing services since 1995. We currently offer emergency shelter services in Salt Lake County with no eligibility criteria for clients to access services including; nightly beds, showers, access to laundry facilities, clothing, blankets, diapers, personal toiletries, etc. Case managers can assist clients in connecting with public benefits, substance abuse treatment, mental health assessment & treatment, job training/development, childcare services, housing assistance & more. Our Pamela Atkinson (Men's) Resource Center, Gail Miller (All Genders) Resource Center & Connie Crosby Family Resource Center can be accessed 24 hours/day, 365 days/year. Priority populations like families with children, Veterans & those experiencing chronic homelessness are assigned case managers to facilitate transitioning out of shelter & into housing as quickly as possible. Case managers work with clients to develop a basic needs assessment & a short-term case plan. Once in housing, case managers continue working with clients to help them build the skills necessary to maintain stable housing, increase income & ensure access to mainstream benefits. This includes conducting in-home visits to ensure participants are meeting the terms of their lease, providing referrals to community resources & helping to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented households from finding or maintaining housing.

Founded in 1904, Utah Food Bank has operated under various names but has always remained true to our mission of Fighting Hunger Statewide.
